Home · Events in Folkestone This Week

You can find a mix of events in Folkestone this week, from active outings to evenings out. There are opportunities to stay moving or enjoy local music. This week includes outdoor activities and live music, with options that suit different preferences. Whether you're interested in walking along the coast or attending a gig, there’s something to fit your plans. Events take place across town, with activity near the Leas and harbour areas. The town benefits from high-speed rail access via HS1, making it easy to reach from London and beyond. Although ferry traffic has declined since the Channel Tunnel opened, the harbour still offers scenic views. You’ll find live music at pubs and other venues. Be aware of congestion on the A259 during peak times. We’ve gathered a list of key options to help you plan. Folkestone’s past as a port and resort shapes the character of its events and spaces.
