Commando writers Stephen Hume and Stephen Walsh will be attending
And if that works up a hunger, I recommend Cuckoo Dough (https://www.cuckoodough.co.uk/) at the end of Eld Lane (technically on another street). There's quite a lot of good places to eat in Colchester, aksherlly. Best places to drink: Queen Street Brewhouse; Coda; Three Wise Monkeys.
