Events in Dartford From 11th May – 17th May 2026

You can find a mix of events in Dartford this week, with live music, comedy nights, and theatrical performances scheduled over the next seven days. Productions include musicals like 'Into The Woods' at Bridge Theatre, while stand-up comedy is featured at venues such as Backyard Comedy Club and Grove House Tavern. Some events are focused on emerging talent, while others highlight established acts. If you're after a relaxed night out, local pubs host acoustic sets, and the 1901 Arts Club offers intimate classical concerts. For more structured events, talks and workshops occasionally take place at the Central Library. The Orchard West theatre hosts full live productions, offering a dedicated space for performances. These events provide a chance to connect with others and enjoy the longer evenings. Dartford’s role as a commuter town means there are options for evening and weekend activities, with many accessible by train or road. You can reach the town via the A2 and A225, though be aware of traffic congestion near the Dartford Crossing during peak times. Check listings below for event times and locations. A short drive away, Bluewater Shopping Centre occasionally hosts events that may appeal to some.
