It’s the final weekend of February, and if you’re feeling that familiar end-of-winter slump, Tonbridge has plenty lined up to lift the mood. From theatre and thought-provoking art to family-friendly events, live music and the all-important Sunday roast, this weekend is packed with easy ways to get out, try something new, and make the most of what’s on your doorstep.
Arts & Culture
Showstopper! The Improvised Musical An Olivier Award-winning powerhouse comes to Tonbridge. Every night is a world premiere where the audience provides the setting and the title, and the cast builds a full-scale musical from scratch. It’s clever, hilarious, and never the same twice. Time: Friday 27th & Saturday 28th Feb. Venue: EM Forster Theatre
Modern Relics – Art Exhibition If you missed it last weekend, you have another chance to catch Matthew Lintott’s compelling work. This exhibition at Tonbridge School explores the intersection of contemporary life and nostalgia through everyday objects. Time: Saturday & Sunday, daytime Venue: Old Big School Gallery, Tonbridge School.
RTWSO: A Land Without Music? The Royal Tunbridge Wells Symphony Orchestra presents a stirring afternoon of classical music. A perfect cultural palate cleanser to round off your Sunday. Time: Sunday 1st March, 15:00. Venue: Assembly Hall Theatre, Tunbridge Wells.
Health & Wellness
Tonbridge Parkrun The community staple continues. Join hundreds of locals for a timed 5km through the scenic park grounds. Whether you’re chasing a PB or just fancy a brisk walk with the dog, everyone is welcome. Time: Saturday, 09:00. Venue: Tonbridge Racecourse Sportsground.
Yoga with Two Wandering Yogis Start your Saturday with intention. This popular local session focuses on grounding movements and mindfulness, tucked away in a welcoming space on Quarry Hill. Time: Saturday morning (10:00). Venue: Quarry Hill Road, Tonbridge.
Family & Days Out

It’s a high-energy day out that keeps the “half-term blues” at bay. Time: Sunday 1st March. Venue: Angel Centre, Tonbridge.
Family ‘Drop-In’ Workshop with Caroline Bugby
A brilliant, creative afternoon for families. Local artist Caroline Bugby invites children (and grown-ups!) to get stuck into a relaxed, hands-on art session, making their own artwork in a friendly, informal setting. Tickets are free and you don’t need to book. Time: Sunday 1st March. Venue: Tonbridge School.
Community & Live Events
