Events in Southampton From 4th May – 10th May 2026

Home · Events in Southampton This Week

You can find a range of events across Southampton this week, from creative workshops in printmaking and jewellery making to live music performances. These include tribute acts, DJs, and theatrical shows. Check out the listings below for times and locations. The city's maritime heritage influences several activities, with options like a walking tour exploring the medieval walls and a guided visit to the docks. If you're using public transport, Southampton Central Railway Station provides easy access. For those driving, the M27 and M3 motorways are the main routes into the city, though parking near the waterfront and other attractions can be difficult. Be mindful of congestion, especially during cruise season. For brunches with a lively soundtrack, head to venues like Medbar Southampton, where late-night events are held on weekends. Families can enjoy green spaces and interactive exhibits, with activities suitable for all ages. You can also join a workshop at Southampton Museums and Gallery for art, nature-inspired crafts, or spring bird watercolouring. If you're visiting from outside the city, a short drive is needed to reach some venues, including Medbar and Suburbia. The city centre is accessible via rail, but some locations are just outside the core area.
