We are an events management company who really want to improve the quality and quantity of events in our region. Since we started the company in 2002 we have created a number of exciting events. We revived the much-loved Colchester Rose Show. We are in partnership with Quinntessential and Snake in the Grass Events. The Colchester Food and Drink Festival is now the biggest and best in the region. Our Medieval Festival and Oyster Fayre is reckoned by the Times to be the best in Europe.
