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

Home · Events in Sittingbourne This Week

You can find a varied mix of events in Sittingbourne this week, from quiet family activities to live music. Storytelling and rhyme sessions for young people take place at the Town Hall Community Centre, often on weekday afternoons with themes tied to local folklore and seasonal changes. Guided walks along the Milton Creek towpath connect to green spaces near St Peter’s Church and Sittingbourne Park, especially popular in spring when wildflowers grow around old mill foundations from the 19th-century paper industry.

Creative workshops happen weekly at Heritage Hall on Thursdays and Sundays, where adults paint by numbers using materials linked to past industrial trades like brickwork patterns from former mills. Interactive learning focuses on personal development topics such as mindfulness and digital literacy, skills increasingly useful for residents commuting via Southeastern services along Chatham Main Line.

Live music events take place across the week. Acoustic sets at The Old Smithy pub run on Wednesday evenings, featuring local artists exploring folk traditions and electronic ambient tracks recorded in nearby studios. Full-band performances happen every Friday night under the marquee near Sittingbourne railway station, where dancehall rhythms mix with chamber music interpretations from members of Kent’s regional ensemble network.

These gatherings bring people together over shared interests in art and conversation, especially during evening events when residents meet after work or school.
