Events in Gravesend From 30th March – 5th April 2026

This Week in Gravesend: Events for All Ages

From 29 March to 5 April 2026, community events across Gravesend highlight its riverside history and transport links. Live music spans genres from punk rock to Afrobeats, held at venues like the Riverside Community Centre and The Old Ferryman pub, spaces that have hosted gatherings since at least 1952. Most sessions begin after 7pm, serving people arriving via High Speed 1 rail into Gravesend Railway Station.

Comedy nights are scheduled for two evenings: one in the Town Hall Annex on Tuesday, another in a historic warehouse near St Mary’s Wharf. These attract locals commuting along M20 or using Fastrack bus routes, often staying past 8pm to explore further.

Families can join weekday sensory play sessions at Gravesend Infant Centre on River Street, designed for babies and toddlers with accessible flooring and low noise levels. Easter-themed trails begin next week, with craft workshops preparing in the Market Square Arcade using recycled materials from local retail hubs.

Adult learning continues, particularly digital skills training held at three locations: Gravesend Library (open until 7pm), St Paul’s Community Hub near the railway bridge, and a satellite space in West Kent College. This reflects broader patterns of residential calm, no major events are scheduled for Friday evenings due to parking challenges in town centre zones.
