Hi, any other developers in Colchester that want to connect, showcase stuff or share the love? 😂

Would love to see if theres more likeminded people that love code as much as i do!

Hi all,

I am interested in Colchester Makerspace. I am thinking of booking in for a tour in September /October time. However I have some questions.

1. Is it upstairs or downstairs? If it’s upstairs, is there a lift?

2. Are studios individual or open?

3. Odd question, but do they have sinks made for artists? So you can wash your brushes and pour dirty paint water down the sink? I worry about contaminating the waterways because of microplastics. I care for the environment!

Thank you 🙏

So I know next weekend there’s a few people playing- Hollywood Vampires, Becky Hill and Bastille I believe. The tickets are like £60 at cheapest and, unfortunately, I’m broke.

I KNOW this is a bit scammy… but does anyone know where’s a good place to go to be able to hear it? Because I’m assuming the whole of castle park is gonna be shut or whatever so people can’t just listen for free.

I was thinking about the walk down the river, or maybe the little bit behind Leisure world, near the cricket field?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and, again, I know this is scammy. If I could afford it, I would buy the tickets but I can’t 😭

was raised in Colchester but haven’t lived here for 10 years and am visiting again. I want to be a proper tourist over the next few days, I never did the Castle so that’s top of the list. what else would you recommend?

New to the area, any recommendations for a good local GP? Had a few bad experiences and just looking for one that is at least intuitive to book an appointment at.

Hi, being a first time buyer, I am pretty confused about the process and solicitors. Not sure about the fee they're charging and would really appreciate it if someone can suggest reliable solicitors, please

Have just recently moved to Colchester and wanted to see what decent vegan/plant based restaurants and takeaways there are in the area? Does anyone know of any hidden gems? Thanks in advance!

Is there a local retro gaming scene? I’ve seen posts for board game meetups… is there a video game equivalent, e.g. meet-up and conquer some multiplayer games at an arcade? Might be too niche we’ll find out!

Could a couple, theoretically ofcourse😂, share their monthly bus pass, assuming they don’t travel at the same time with it. Say for FirstBus.

Would you be able to log out on one phone before the other logs in or send a screenshot of the bus pass to them before they travel?
