Events in Basingstoke From 18th May – 24th May 2026

Home · Events in Basingstoke This Week

This week in Basingstoke, you can find events for all ages and interests. Look out for family sessions, creative workshops, and live music shows at venues like Proteus Creation Space and Viables Craft Centre. There’s a mix of performances, community gatherings, and local business events this week. If you’re after a relaxed Saturday, consider a daytime activity in one of the town’s green spaces. For an evening out, check the music events at The Link or Proteus Creation Space. Travel by train to Basingstoke Station on the South West Main Line to avoid traffic on the M3. The station reflects the town’s railway history, established in 1838. If driving, watch for parking congestion at Leisure Park, especially on weekends. You can also reach Basingstoke Canal via The Ringway, though development has made reconnection challenging. For updates on events, check listings for times and venue details.
