The Columbine Centre is on Prince’s Esplanade in Walton, on the seafront heading towards the Naze. It is a community centre with a big main hall, and it describes itself as the largest meeting space in the Tendring district.
The centre is used for weddings, parties, dances and shows. Venue listings mention a bar, kitchen, staging and a lift, but check the details and the capacity for your kind of event with the office.
A big room by the sea
For a hall this size I bring my larger speakers and a wide lighting rig. If your party is smaller than the room, lighting helps to pull the space in around the dance floor. Walton is about 40 minutes from Colchester.
