Colchester Free Festival 2010 is a one day music and arts festival in Castle Park from 11am to 7pm on Saturday 18th September and forms the finale of Colchester!

Colchester! is a week of grassroots celebration and events taking place throughout the town, from Monday 13th September through to Saturday 18th September 2010.

Colchester! (Colchester Free Festival 2010) is brought to you by Keep Colchester Cool and Slack Space Colchester and will be organised by the community for the community. Taking on the ethos of the original festivals, Colchester Free Festival 2010 will be the people’s festival.

Keep Colchester Cool and Slack Space Colchester, are asking members of the Colchester community to help in their efforts to raise at least £7,000 for funding of this event.

Speaking about the fundraising drive, Ben Howard of Keep Colchester Cool said: “We want the festival to be a landmark event in Colchester’s vibrant music and arts calendar, and we know that many others feel the same way”.

Abby Cheverst of Slack Space added “Although we are asking for money in what are tough times for many, if everyone who wants to be part of the festival either donated some money (no matter how large or small), organised a fund raising event, or approached organisations for sponsorship and support, it would massively help us reach our target.”

To donate, sponsor, support, or to volunteer contact us at info@colchesterfreefestival.com

Every penny donated goes towards the festival with the entire Festival team donating their time for free.
