What's on in Margate This Week

You can find a range of events shaping up in Margate this week, with live music and entertainment on offer. The week includes a mix of daytime and evening sessions, giving options for different interests. You’ll discover performances at various venues throughout the week. If you’re arriving by Southeastern train from London Victoria or St Pancras International, it’s straightforward to reach the town’s main attractions. The Theatre Royal and Winter Gardens are still closed, affecting cultural access, but other spots are open. Beyond music, Margate’s coastal setting offers quieter alternatives. Westbrook Bay lacks some facilities compared to Main Sands, but it’s a calmer place for long days by the sea. Be aware that Dreamland gets crowded during peak times, and the Discovery online service will be offline from 17:00 on Thursday 2 April until 11:00 on Tuesday 7 April due to IT maintenance. The town’s heritage as a seaside resort continues to influence its offerings. Check event times and venues below, and plan ahead for parking in tourist zones. The Cantii Way cycle route and Kent coast trail provide alternate access, though Draper's Mill remains at a risky angle due to an unrepaired pole. A walk past the Victoria Jubilee Clock Tower is possible, but be prepared for seagulls in the area.
