This year we’re celebrating 40 years of STAG-gering through Colchester Beer Festivals! 1985-2025 by promoting the Great Stag Hunt by the People’s Trust for Endangered Species.

The magnificent stag beetle needs your help. If you’re lucky you may see them in the Mercury Theatre garden directly opposite the Art Centre. You can get involved with stag beetle conservation by recording your sightings wherever you see them or even by providing a habitat for them in your garden.

Learn more about the Stag Beetles (headline: they’re very friendly to humans, just terrible pilots) at PTES and more locally, Maria Fremlin’s in-depth site.

We’re raising awareness of the stag beetle, but also raising funds again for Colchester Foodbank.
