No-strings sex and nights out in Colchester, the Colne valley and the Essex coast.

Sex in Colchester, from the castle to the campus

Colchester stands on the site of Camulodunum, the first major city of Roman Britain and its first capital, and it still claims the title of Britain's first city. The castle went up in the eleventh century on Roman foundations and now holds a museum, and soldiers have been based here since Roman times, and it is still very much a garrison city. With about 130,000 people in its built-up area, it is the second-largest place in Essex after Southend-on-Sea, sitting on the River Colne 50 miles north-east of London.

The University of Essex has its main campus between Colchester and Wivenhoe, and the city has a real evening offer for its size: a repertory theatre, an arts centre in an old church and several bars with live music. For dating in Colchester, the no-strings kind, that means plenty of easy first-meeting options without a trip to London. If you would rather meet in daylight first, the ruins of an old priory, the castle museum and several art galleries give you somewhere to suggest.

Theatre, beer or the castle: pick your Colchester date

  • A show at the Mercury

    The repertory theatre has been open since 1972, and the Headgate Theatre is in town as well.

  • Beer in a church

    Colchester Arts Centre fills the old St Mary-at-the-Walls church and hosts the Colchester Beer Festival.

  • Live music

    Several bars in the city put on bands, which takes the pressure off the first half hour.

  • The castle

    Eleventh-century walls on Roman foundations, with a museum inside: a daytime meeting with conversation built in.

  • Art after lunch

    Firstsite, the contemporary art space that opened in 2011, and The Minories Galleries are both easy first stops.

  • A day at the zoo

    Colchester Zoo suits two people who would rather start in daylight and see where it leads.

Football fans have one more option: Colchester United play their home games at the Colchester Community Stadium, and a crowd on a match day is good cover for a first hello. However you start, do it somewhere public and let a friend know where you are. Our hookup safety tips cover the rest.

West Mersea, Sudbury and Harwich within easy reach

West Mersea is under eight miles from the city, Sudbury, over in Suffolk, about thirteen, and Maldon and Braintree around fifteen. On the coast, Dovercourt and Harwich are both about sixteen and a half miles off, with Southminster sixteen and Burnham-on-Crouch eighteen. The A12 and the Great Eastern Main Line link Colchester to London, and Stansted Airport is under 30 miles away, so meeting someone halfway is rarely complicated.

Is there more to Colchester dating than the pub?

Plenty more. The Mercury Theatre, the Beer Festival at the Arts Centre, Firstsite and the castle museum all make good first meetings, and Colchester Zoo works if you'd rather meet by day.

Can I meet someone from Ipswich or the coast?
