Colchester Castle Summer Series 2026

The team responsible for the Margate Summer Series, South Facing Festival, Hitchin Priory Series and Cardiff Bay Series, is thrilled to announce the Colchester Castle summer series at the gorgeous Lower Castle Park venue in Colchester (CO1 1XL, UK).

After many great years of providing high quality live music experiences for audiences across the UK, the organisers are delighted to bring their recognised outdoor concert experience to one of the most historic and beautiful places in Essex! Lower Castle Park will provide an incredible backdrop to spend wonderful summer evenings hearing live music.

The first announcement for the 2026 season will be a challenge to follow, as music legend Billy Ocean will be appearing with Marti Pellow, the unmistakable voice of Wet Wet Wet.

A spokesperson for the team said:
“We can’t wait to bring world-class artists to Colchester next summer. The Castle Park setting is truly special, and we’re looking forward to creating some magical moments there.”

As further acts and performances are due to be announced very soon, the Colchester Castle Summer Series is likely to become a significant event in the 2026 live music calendar.
