Events in Peterborough From 9th March – 15th March 2026

You can find events across Peterborough this week, from 9 to 15 March 2026, focused on cultural and artistic offerings at key venues. At Peterborough Cathedral, themed exhibitions continue with the Moonlit Hares Kirigami & Embossing workshop held on Wednesday evenings, alongside a numbered series exploring medieval manuscript illumination in collaboration with local archivists. The cathedral’s nave hosts the Voices from the Past lecture series on 15th century ecclesiastical records. Meanwhile, The New Theatre Peterborough presents three main performances: Jason Donovan in a career retrospective on Thursday evening; Copacabana Magic, a Barry Manilow tribute show with choreography and period costumes; and a live staging of Carmen by the Ukrainian National Opera on Saturday night featuring original libretto translations. At Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery, located just behind Nene Park, a new exhibition titled Gleanings: The art of the past examines artistic continuity through centuries-old watercolours, wood engravings, and textile work from regional collections dating back to 1790, displayed alongside contemporary responses by local artists under a new commission scheme. Thursday evening also includes Mothers Eve meal deals at Buzz Bingo locations in Northgate and Leicester Road, available only for bookings before 5pm. The city’s railway heritage remains visible via frequent East Coast Main Line services from Peterborough railway station, with departures influencing event timing and transport access during peak hours.
