Music, dance and theatre at Essex
The University of Essex is thought to be unique in having theatres at
each of our three campuses: the Lakeside Theatre at our Colchester Campus, Clifftown Studios at our Southend Campus and the Corbett Theatre at our
Loughton Campus.
Arts on 5 pushes back the boundaries
Music, exhibitions and theatre productions are organised for you at our
Colchester Campus by Arts on 5. The programme includes work by students and staff at the University, plus
professional touring companies and musical groups.
Arts in Southend
The £5 million Clifftown Theatre and Studios
provides a base for East 15 Acting School
and community facilities. Events are held at Clifftown all through the year.
Southend is a vibrant seaside town with a busy local music and arts scene
plus several theatres. Find out more about other arts events on the
Southend

Students' Union events
You can also enjoy events run by our
Students’ Union at Colchester and Southend campuses
throughout the year, which means you will find there is always something
happening on our campuses.
