Thousands of music fans travelled to Colchester this summer to attend a series of sold-out performances in the historic grounds of Colchester Castle, generating increased activity across retail, hospitality, transport and tourism sectors
The event is free to attend and forms part of the national Heritage Open Days programme, celebrating England's history and culture through free public access to historic buildings and experiences
Through participating in Institute of Cemetery & Crematorium Management metal recycling scheme, the £48,000 generated through the recycling process were donated to six local bereavement charities in the past two years.
This significant investment is part of a wider £3.4m programme that will bring us closer to returning the building to public use and securing its future at the heart of Colchester
Visitors are invited to experience expert talks, paranormal investigations, witchy workshops, psychic readings, after-hours adventures and a fascinating marketplace of esoteric traders
The nominations recognise the organisation's role in delivering some of Colchester's largest and most popular live entertainment, cultural and community events through Charter Hall and Castle Park
