Tim Noble & Sue Webster: Love and Hate — Last Weeks
When Until 27 SeptWhere Firstsite, Lewis Gardens, High Street, Colchester, Essex, CO1 1JHPrice Free entry, no booking
Tim Noble and Sue Webster's neon signage has been glowing quietly through Firstsite's curved galleries since 2023, spelling out messages of love and hate in the flickering language of seaside piers and Vegas strips. Now it's finally coming down.
It's free, it needs no booking, and the building itself — all glass and gold curves on Colchester's High Street — is worth the trip alone. If you've been meaning to see it, late September is your last chance.
Never miss the good ones
We send the weekend's best hand-picked days out every Thursday. Free.
