Upcoming Events
We want House of Joy to become Colchester’s go-to space for creatives, bringing people together to discover, share and create. From book clubs and author talks to workshops, open mics, film clubs and everything in between, our events are designed to spark ideas, encourage conversation and give creativity a place to grow.
Whether you’re a writer, artist, filmmaker, musician, reader or simply someone who wants to try something new, there’s a place for you at House of Joy.
We have plenty of different clubs, events and workshops running at the House of Joy.
