Home · Events in Margate This Week

Looking for events in Margate this week? You can find a mix of live music and evening gatherings taking place. Several bars host regular performances, offering a relaxed setting to unwind. The Kent coast trail and Cantii Way cycle route provide options to combine outdoor activity with informal socialising. If you're near the Old Town, you’ll find a range of local venues with a laid-back atmosphere.

Dreamland is currently overcrowded during peak season, so consider exploring other options. Margate Museum remains closed for refurbishment. The Theatre Royal and Winter Gardens closed in 2022 and has not reopened. Draper's Mill is leaning at a 75-degree angle due to an unrepaired pole. The Discovery online service will be unavailable from 17:00 on Thursday 2 April until 11:00 on Tuesday 7 April due to IT maintenance. A short drive away, Margate Beach Club hosts beachside DJ sets featuring house and balearic music. The Southeastern train service runs from London Victoria and St Pancras International to Margate railway station. Check event listings for details.
