The very first

Colchester Highland Games & Gathering

will be held at the Jennifer Dr, Ballfield

Bible Hill, Colchester County

September 9th 2017

11am - 5pm

A very 'traditional games' with an incredible line up of multicultural entertainment, bringing

'Old Scotland' & 'New'

together to make this a truly historic event.

Help us make this the games to visit.

A CRAZY IDEA...

The Colchester Games idea was born one afternoon at a meeting of the Scots Society of Colchester.

The 'Gathering in Earltown' at Sugar Moon Farm - a follow on from the 'Pipers Picnic' - which strived to maintain the original settlers cemeteries, preserving a little piece of our history, would normally have our largest donation. But in 2015 the last Gathering was held!

And so the seed was sown! Within weeks the games had escalated into what you see here on this events page!

We have had some very generous donations from businesses, groups & local councils, we have had some great fundraisers (with more to come) & more importantly - the generous amounts of time donated by all of our dedicated volunteers and live music stage artists.

We hope that the games will continue to grow year after year and make Colchester county a great place to live, work & visit.

BE A PART OF HISTORY

Please note that dogs are welcome at the games on a leash.

Please also be aware that there will be loud bangs and smoke at some of our demonstrations in Main Arena 1.
