Home · Events in Chatham This Week
You can find a well-rounded mix of activities across Chatham this week, from mindful movement and creative expression to lively music and family adventures. Events in Chatham this week highlight wellness through yoga at St Mary's Island Community Centre, dancing sessions hosted by the ME4 Choir, and outdoor mindfulness circles near the River Medway’s edge. There are also storytelling moments led by local historians at Belfairs Discovery Centre, nature-inspired projects drawing on seasonal changes, such as willow weaving with materials sourced from nearby woodlands, and interactive workshops held in community centres including St Mary's Island Community Centre and Chatham Library.
Live music takes centre stage throughout the week: tribute acts perform classic rock sets at The Crooked Billet; DJ rotations featuring indie and folk tracks run at Poco Loco, while full band concerts take place on weekends under canvas structures near the Medway waterways. These events are spread across public spaces with accessible layouts, including those designed to accommodate mobility aids.
Family-focused programming continues daily, themed story times occur every weekday morning in Chatham Library’s children's corner; creative play sessions for ages 3–7 take place on Tuesdays and Fridays at St Mary's Island Community Centre. These activities are held in spaces that include designated green areas, such as those near the dockyard steps or along the riverside path leading to High Street.
Other offerings span martial arts training every Tuesday evening at St Mary's Island Community Centre; roller skating disco events take place on Saturdays night at Poco Loco’s covered plaza with soundproofed lighting and non-slip flooring. Wellness festivals feature local health practitioners, while film screenings occur weekly in Beecroft Art Gallery, selected from independent British documentaries or restored classics.
