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

This week in Dunstable, community events highlight consistent local engagement with a focus on families and local talent. On weekday afternoons at St Mary’s Hall, rhyming circles for children aged three to seven take place, featuring simple percussion instruments like hand drums and shakers. These sessions are run by volunteer parents from the Dunstable Parent Network.

On Sunday 27 March, a nature scavenger hunt begins at noon in Hillside Park near the old railway bridge, using chalk-marked footpaths for clues. The trail is set along public paths accessible to all.

Evening events stay low-key but active. On Thursday 24 March, stand-up comedy from three regional performers takes place at Dunstable Community Theatre on Lower Road , tickets are available by email only due to limited hall capacity. A themed party, '90s Nostalgia Night,' happens Friday 25 March in the multi-use space of Dunstable Leisure Centre, with music curated from local radio archives and a retro dress code.

Job fairs occur across the week: one at Dunstable Town Hall on Monday to Wednesday supports roles in logistics or retail; another on Saturday 26 March targets school-leavers interested in engineering apprenticeships along A5. All events stay within Dunstable’s urban boundary, though travel remains dependent on private vehicle due to limited bus services and ongoing traffic noise during peak times.
