    Headgate Theatre is probably Colchester's best kept secret, which everyone should visit. There's a wide range of first class plays, musicals and gigs to suit all tastes. There are also many other activities for people young and old to participate in. Act V takes place on a Monday morning and is the perfect way to start the week. It's mainly for the over 50's and a wide range of brilliant activities are presented by a great variety of facilitators. Check out the website and give the Headgate a look, you won't be disappointed!
