Events in Gravesend From 18th May – 24th May 2026

You can find a range of events in Gravesend this week, with options for families to explore themed activities at local parks and community centres. The town’s high family-friendly index means there are plenty of age-inclusive events scheduled across the week. For music lovers, several venues across town will host live performances, with evenings offering social gatherings and opportunities to stay active. A mix of established favourites and new events includes running races, interactive trails, and DJ sets. Daytime and evening options suit different schedules, with events often timed around the Gravesend Railway Station and High Speed 1 rail services, which serve many commuters returning from London. Keep in mind that parking near the town centre can be challenging, and the recently refurbished station bridge may cause congestion. The discontinued Gravesend–Tilbury Ferry is no longer in service, but local history groups occasionally hold commemorative events. For access to venues outside the city centre, a short drive is required. Use the Fastrack bus service for convenient travel. Check listings below for times and locations.
