Exciting Weekend Events in Tonbridge: June 12-14

As the middle of June arrives, Tonbridge is cranking up the summer energy. From neon-lit historic castle lawns and laughter-filled theatres to locally sourced Sunday treats, there is an incredible lineup waiting for you this weekend.

Arts & Entertainment

Tonbridge Comedy Night (Friday 12th June)

Kick off your weekend with a massive dose of laughter. Lonestar Comedy makes its highly anticipated return to the EM Forster Theatre for its regular monthly showcase. Bringing a brilliant lineup of professional touring comedians straight to our doorstep, it is the ideal excuse to round up some friends for a few Friday night drinks and a laugh. Having attended a few months ago, we can personally vouch that it is absolute gold—but because it is a local favourite, it usually sells out quickly, so do book early. And if you’ve missed out, book for next month.

Time: Friday evening
Venue: EM Forster Theatre, High Street Entrance
Cost: £15 Ticketed event (Pre-booking essential)
