Colchester Highland Games & Gathering
The Colchester Games is a multicultural event uniting the peoples of our county in one event.
It is a traditional Highland Games with a twist.
We not only endeavour to bring you all the traditional elements of a Scottish Highland Games such as
Heavy weights, Highland Dancers and Pipes &Drums
