They get scratched out then replaced with new ones, so someone is making a real effort to get their message out. I even saw one in Jaywick, perhaps they are all over Essex.
I'm new to Colchester. I lost some friends due to some big life event so now I'm basically resetting. I'm on dating apps but that's not exactly how you meet friends.
Any hippy groups outside of the Buddhist centre?
Hi everyone,
I'm currently researching commuting behaviour in the UK as part of a university startup project.
I'd really appreciate hearing about your own commuting experiences.
A few questions:
I'm looking for honest opinions rather than right or wrong answers.
Thanks!
Curious for a place to play table tennis. What are the cheapest halls you know of hire in Colchester per hour? At least 7mx5m
Are there ubers around that early on a monday morning? Need to get to osbourne street before 6am. Taxi companies seem to have really mixed reviews so prefer uber but not sure if they run so early
Meant to say osbourne street in the title but can't change it😅
Hi all ! I’m moving back to the CO area and I’m looking for gothic / alternative artist / artisan markets to attend especially around the holidays!
Im interested in markets in all of Essex and Suffolk. They don’t have to be specifically themed but I’m looking for the kind of market with a really nice variety of artists and makers of all kinds :)
Hiya ive just graduated from uni and moving down to Colchester for work starting august, however im having finding any good furnished studios near the town centre. If anybody is renting out or can guide me on where to look it would be much appreciated 🙏🏼
Last time I asked, it hadn't happened yet...
Does anyone have any photos of this, that they wouldn't mind sharing?
My sister was there as a participant, but was not able to take any photos.
I used to do history shows myself, but that was over 25-years ago.
hi guys i’m looking at going to uni in colchester in october and have been offered a place. I was hoping id have my driving license by then but unfortunately have just failed my test. I’m trying to work out the best and most affordable way to get to the uni of essex from Harlow. Does anyone do this route regularly and have any advice. I’ve been looking at first bus and arriva but it doesnt seem like theres a consistent bus schedule for me to get there for about 8:30am. The trains are looking like £50 a day which isnt viable for me. I’ve had a look on the rideshare apps but i cant see anyone doing this route. Thankyou
Is there anywhere safe I can park an ebike in the town centre? I kind of want to buy one because it will be far more efficient than driving to a carpark at the weekend., but as I understand it ebikes are very susceptible to being stolen away from under your nose.
hi all, we’re wondering if anyone has any idea on where to sell used furniture in town. we have a king size bed and mattress - they’re in really good condition as we bought it new for a guest last xmas and it hasn’t been used since.
we tried selling online on fb marketplace, vinted and ebay but haven’t had much luck at all. we’re hoping to get some recommendations on shops/businesses in town that deal with used furniture so we can sell it. thanks in advance!
edit: wanted to be clear that we want to sell the bed & mattress as opposed to donating. we bought them for quite a bit of money and we’re hoping we can get a little bit back.
I’m almost certain this has probably been asked on here before but from my very quick check, I couldn’t find it.
So I’m F22 and was wondering if anyone knew of any dating or social events in Colchester. I live just outside the town centre and don’t drive so would struggle to get around anywhere I couldn’t get to without walking/public transport.
I’m pretty into gaming, both ttrpg like DnD and normal gaming, and art: I go to the cross-stitch and knitting thing at the Leaf cafe on Fridays and I like other arty stuff too.
I’m a bit socially awkward and, while I have lived in Colchester most my life, I don’t really know a lot about the social life in Colchester (I’m honestly a bit of a boring introvert- I don’t really enjoy clubbing or drinking loads) so any help would be super appreciated.
I’ve tried a couple speed dating events in Colchester but they’re all like 40+ (even though they’re marketed at 20+ :/) so no luck there.
Any help would be appreciated 🫶
Does anyone know of any big indoor shopping centres close to Colchester?
I used to live in Romford and we had indoor shopping centre there, as well as lakeside close by. But I feel like there’s nothing like this near Colchester.
Trying to escape the heat by walking around shops for the day
