Colchester and the surrounding area has lots of things to do. So I thought I would highlight some of them in a series of articles, one each week.
Rollerworld – the atmosphere is fantastic, the sound and lighting are great, and you get to skate in Europe’s best roller-skating rink. Visit their website to find out more about prices, and opening times. Seriously, if you want to have a laugh then get down there with your friends and you will not regret it. There is also a facebook fan page to join as well.
Colchester Zoo – Fun for all the family. We are very lucky to have such an excellent zoo on our doorstep. If you visit often then it is well worth getting the gold or platinum membership cards.
Colchester Castle and Museums – Being the oldest down in Great Britain, we have some very good museums and a Castle. The museums include “Castle Museum”, “Hollytrees Museum”, “Natural History Museum”, “Tymperleys Clock Museum”.
Liquid Nightclub – I have not been to any Colchester clubs for a while 
, but by going from what people write about Liquid on twitter it is a great place to go clubbing in Colchester.
Colchester United Football Club – We have a new £14M stadium called “The Weston Homes Community Stadium”. I believe I saw a special offer at Highwoods Tesco selling tickets @ £10 (if anyone has more details on this please let me know). Apart from football, the stadium is also used for hosting other events such as “Colchester Connected” business breakfast networking meetings.
Odeon Cinema – A great place to go and relax to watch a movie. You can always look for special offers as Odeon is one of the largest cinema chains in the UK.
Highwoods Country Park – it must be the best park in Colchester. It has a fishing lake with some big fish in (I know as I’ve seen one been caught and it was really big!). If you just want to go out for a walk, or take a picnic you can just go and chill out and it is one of the best things to do on a sunny afternoon if you don’t want to travel far and not spend any money.
Article 2 to follow next week – so be sure to let me know your favourite places so I can add them to the list.
