Events in Farnborough From 30th March – 5th April 2026

You can find live music, family activities, and community events shaping Farnborough this week. This week’s programme highlights the town’s aviation history while offering accessible cultural moments across local venues. Live performances take place at The Old Forge on Wednesday evenings with acoustic sets from regional artists drawing small but attentive crowds. Retro hits are hosted monthly by Farnborough Community Radio at the Civic Centre Hall, attracting a diverse age range including older residents who recall early airshows. On weekends, interactive stage shows for children happen in public parks, particularly near The Triangle and Basingstoke Canal footpath, doubling as themed trails during seasonal events like Easter Week.

Family gatherings occur at Farnborough Church Hall on Tuesday afternoons, where parents meet informally over tea while children participate in crafts or storytelling sessions linked to local aviation history. Comedians perform weekly at the Village Inn and The Red Lion, intimate spaces prioritising relaxed audience interaction rather than spectacle. These events run between 7pm and 9:30pm across the week, with most venues accepting walk-ins but recommending advance booking during high-traffic periods.

The focus remains on accessible live performance, an all-ages music night at Farnborough Primary School gymnasium (Friday evenings), a tribute act to Sir Frank Whittle in Farnborough North Station hall, and an acoustic evening for charity by a local veterans group reflecting civic engagement. This week’s lineup also includes a live music set by Sweet Violet at O'Neill's Woking with rich vocals and tight musicianship. Check the listings below for times and venues.
