New dates open for Jumbo tours

If you have ever wanted to see inside Colchester’s unique Victorian water tower, now is the time. We have just released our latest tour dates and booking is open.

Our ever-popular guided tours of Jumbo will resume on Saturday, July 19. Priority booking is available for everyone who had their dates cancelled earlier in the year.

The tours, led by our volunteer guides and Trustees, will run most Saturdays throughout July, August and September. Bookings can be made here or in person, on the phone or via the Mercury Theatre. Please note, the theatre box office is closed on Mondays.

Tickets cost £12 per person. Children under 8 years of age are not currently allowed on the guided towers. Every ticket supports vital restoration efforts to preserve this architectural treasure for future generations.

There are 157 very steep steps to the top of Jumbo. Please ensure you read the health and safety information and rules before you book.

We can’t wait to welcome you.
