Events in Gravesend From 20th April – 26th April 2026

This week’s events across Gravesend offer a quiet but steady rhythm of local culture. Live music takes place at Elephants Head, with sets from emerging artists and tribute acts playing pop anthems between 7pm and 10pm. Comedy nights run weekly on Tuesdays at the Riverside Centre, featuring new performers in a format that keeps things direct.

Children’s events happen across different spots: story sessions are held every Saturday morning at Gravesend Library, while messy play runs from 9am to midday on Wednesdays and Sundays. Art workshops with a focus on wellbeing take place monthly at the Chadwell Heath and Whalebone Community Hub using locally sourced recycled materials. The nature trail walk through Oxleas Wood is open this weekend starting at 10am each day, following a marked path away from main roads.

Some activities extend beyond typical venues: dining spaces like Reliance Fish Restaurant host acoustic sets on Fridays, and sports clubs near the riverbank offer low-impact fitness sessions every evening. These initiatives reflect Gravesend’s identity as a commuter town connected via High Speed 1 rail and a place where civic life unfolds in quiet rhythm. Times and locations are detailed below for reference.
