Events in Maidstone From 25th May – 31st May 2026

Home · Events in Maidstone This Week

Looking for events in Maidstone this week? A range of activities runs from May 24th to May 31st, offering ways to engage with the town’s cultural offerings and keep families busy. The programme focuses on family workshops, including hands-on sessions at Maidstone Museum. Try building your family tree, especially fitting given Maidstone’s long history, with evidence of habitation stretching back over 400,000 years.

For evening plans, music is on offer through tribute acts and dancehall beats. These venues are accessible via the A20/M20 corridor. Beyond music, there’s craft-based fun and guided tours of museum collections. The museum holdings reflect Maidstone’s past as Kent’s legal and administrative centre, and its industrial roots in brewing and papermaking. Use the longer days and half-term break to explore the collections and the town’s green spaces. With a high family-friendly index, younger members will find plenty to do.

See the listings below for times and locations. Be aware that the inner ring road can get congested during peak hours, and parking fees at Loddington Farm are high relative to value.
