What's Happening in Colchester?
At the JobServe Community Stadium, home of Colchester United, fans can back England from the club's own World Cup watch-along. The Fanzone and Legends Bar will be open from 6pm on Wednesday, with big screens, plenty of seating, and that stadium buzz you just don't get from a living room sofa. Tickets cost £5, but each ticket comes with a £6 food and drink credit voucher.

If you want something more street-party than stadium, Lion Walk courtyard is once again turning into the city's beating heart. After more than 100 fans packed the fanzone for the quarter-final, organisers are cranking it up a notch. Extra seating for around 200 more people is being put out, with a DJ, bongos, and a full carnival theme from 5pm.
