FOLLOWING on from the exhibition of Street Photography and Street Cinema, both in the Old Bus Depot, the final off-shoot of the Colchester Arts Centre's Street Hunt, starts this weekend.
That's Street Tours, a series of guided walks that run through the town looking at various aspects of the town's history and cultural make-up.
The first four of ten walks takes place this weekend with Pam Nelson's Urban Environmentalism kicking them all off at 11am tomorrow, starting from the Cafe in the Park in Upper Castle Park.
She'll be looking at surprising encounters of sustainable living while also sharing ideas about how to make people's home and work a greener place.
The same day, Colchester photographers Jonathan Doyle and Xavier Marsielle, who were instrumental in the Street Photography exhibition, will be walking around Colchester town centre helping budding snappers with their very own street photography.
That starts from Space Studios, 37 Queen Street, at 2pm.
Then on Sunday Dorian Kelly will be reprising his very successful Riots, Rebellions and Protests walk. Taking in locations that have changed Colchester and, with a slice of Street Theatre, some of the people from the town's past who have stood up to authority, it begins at The War Memorial from 11am.
Rounding off the weekend will be a guided walk with a difference led by the anarchic and always entertaining Richard Dedomenici.
Taking a temporary break from his Redux Project, which he recreates famous film scenes in the places they were originally shot, Richard will be taking people on a spire inspired walk across Colchester finishing on the roof of Colchester Arts Centre’s church tower where a new spire will be built.
That starts from the Old Bus Depot in Queen Street from 4pm.
Over the following two weekends, other Street Walk highlights include 7am with the arts centre's Anthony Roberts, former Firstsite director Katherine Wood taking a look at the wonderful public murals of husband and wife team, artists Henry Collins and Joyce Pallot, and an interactive short walk, exploring the walk as art with Sara Hayes.
