Events in Peterborough From 23rd March – 29th March 2026

You can find a mix of events across culture, music, and creativity in Peterborough from 23 to 29 March 2026. Live theatre returns with performances at New Theatre Peterborough, including a contemporary staging of The Importance of Being Earnest, using intimate set designs and local actors. At the same time, exhibitions at Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery showcase works by emerging artists from Cambridgeshire and Rutland, displayed in spaces near historical archives highlighting regional industrial heritage following the 1850 opening of the Great Northern Railway line.

For hands-on creativity, drawing workshops run weekly at Nene Park’s community centre, where residents can experiment with charcoal or collage under guided instruction. Sessions start midday and include free refreshments, ideal for those using public transport via Peterborough railway station on the East Coast Main Line. At night, stand-up comedy is featured across three venues: The Boulevard Club in central town, a pop-up space near the A1(M) junction, and an upstairs room at a pub serving CAMRA-approved real ale.

Music highlights include choral singing by the Peterborough Cathedral Choir during weekday evensong, performed within historic walls originally reinforced after 1850 railway expansion, and daytime disco events themed around vintage travel posters. All listings give start times and transport options, with walkable routes from major stops recommended for those avoiding traffic congestion or car park issues in city centre zones.
