Looking for events in Folkestone this week? Or perhaps you’re wondering what’s on in Folkestone this week, hoping to discover some things to do? You can find a varied programme unfolding across the town. This week promises an interesting mix of entertainment, with opportunities to enjoy an evening’s amusement. Music is a common theme, with sets for dancing at venues along the Harbour Arm to more laid-back performances in the town’s pubs. Go to one of the pubs known for live music, or check listings for performances suited to a relaxed atmosphere.

Besides music, expect opportunities for a laugh. Comedy nights offer a chance to catch up-and-coming and established acts, providing a welcome break and some light-hearted fun. These gatherings often take place in the town centre, easily accessible via the high-speed rail connections from London or the M20 motorway.

Folkestone, historically a port and resort town, now blends its past with a growing arts scene. Whether you’re planning a night out following arrival on the Channel Tunnel or a spontaneous diversion, there’s plenty to choose from. The selection is geared towards residents and visitors, offering entertainment to complement a wider stay, and perhaps encourage you to explore the town’s coastal Leas and historic harbour. Folkestone Harbour Railway Station and Viaduct offer easy access to many of these venues, though congestion on the A259 is common during peak times.

Check the listings below for times and venues. Consider how you’ll travel; while the Channel Tunnel and HS1 provide excellent connections, parking near the Harbour can be limited.
