Events in Folkestone From 6th April – 12th April 2026

You can find live jazz on Thursday 6 April at The Rocking Horse pub, just behind the Leas Cliff Railway. On Saturday 8 April, families can join a free craft workshop in Folkestone’s Harbour Leisure Centre, open to children aged four to twelve and run by local volunteers. The following evening features stand-up comedy at The Junction Theatre Complex on Station Road, a space that has hosted performances since the early 1900s. On Friday 10 April, an informal networking session for working parents begins at 6pm in St John's Church Hall, accessible from both East Cliff and Harbour Town. These events are part of a broader initiative supported by Kent County Council’s 'Town Life' programme, which aims to strengthen community ties through weekly gatherings linked to local transport patterns. Events shift across the Leas area, Harbour Town near the old rail viaduct, and Church Hill, each venue has been in use since at least 1905 and open to all residents regardless of travel method.
