Amphora Connect Powers Connectivity for the Colchester Castle Summer Series 2026
As thousands of music fans prepare to descend on Lower Castle Park for the Colchester Castle Summer Series, Amphora Connect is once again playing a key role behind the scenes, providing the high-speed digital infrastructure that helps make the event possible.
While audiences will be focused on the incredible line-up of artists performing against the backdrop of Colchester Castle, a significant amount of technology is required to support an event of this scale. From communications and operational systems to security and monitoring, reliable connectivity is an essential part of delivering a safe and successful experience for performers, staff and visitors alike.
Through its extensive fibre network, Amphora Connect provides connectivity of up to 10Gbps across the park, ensuring robust and resilient communications throughout the event site. Complementing this is Amphora Connect’s private 5G network, which delivers high-performance wireless connectivity across Castle Park and supports a range of operational requirements during the Summer Series.
This year’s concerts mark the second Colchester Castle Summer Series supported by Amphora Connect, building on the success of previous events and further demonstrating the value of the digital infrastructure available in the city centre.
Many visitors may not realise that Castle Park is among the best-connected public spaces in the UK. The combination of high-capacity fibre connectivity and private 5G coverage provides a level of infrastructure rarely found in a historic park setting, enabling organisers to deliver large-scale events with confidence.
The network’s role extends beyond supporting major events. Amphora Connect’s fibre infrastructure also provides the vital links that connect Castle Park’s CCTV cameras back to the central control room, helping to support security and public safety throughout the year.
The Colchester Castle Summer Series will welcome a range of internationally recognised artists to Lower Castle Park over the coming weeks, attracting visitors from across Essex and beyond.
For Amphora Connect, the event provides another opportunity to demonstrate how investment in digital infrastructure can support not only businesses and public services, but also major cultural and community events that bring people together and showcase the city on a national stage.
As the stage is set and the countdown reaches its final days, Amphora Connect is ready to help keep the Summer Series connected from the first note to the final encore.
