Mercury Theatre wins Sustainable Workplace of the Year Award

Award • April 14, 2026

Colchester’s Mercury Theatre has been recognised by a regional awards scheme recently when it was named winner of the Sustainable Workplace of the Year award, sponsored by Indigo Swan, at the East Anglia Clean and Green Awards 2026.

The theatre has made significant strides by incorporating sustainability practices into its operations, with a strong focus on environmental responsibility and community engagement.

It operates on 100% renewable electricity, supported by a 67.5kW rooftop solar energy system that powers the building and returns surplus energy to the grid.
