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

Home · Events in Dunstable This Week

This week in Dunstable, events offer a range of ways to spend your time. For active interests, dance and karate sessions are available at The Dunstable Community Halls. Check out the scheduled classes there, or explore nearby studios for specialist sessions.

For a calmer pace, focus on local food and community events. The Square hosts Street Food Heroes on 21 May, offering family-friendly street food from 4–9pm. Regular stalls on Church Street also feature local produce and handmade goods. These events aim to bring people together and welcome all ages. Support Dunstable’s independent venues and find what suits your schedule.

Dunstable’s location near the M1, A5, and A1 makes it accessible by car. Be aware of traffic congestion, especially during peak times. The Luton Dunstable Busway provides an alternative route connecting Dunstable with Luton and surrounding areas.

Daytime activities extend into the evening. Why not try something new, or return to a familiar interest? The town’s past as a Roman settlement and medieval market centre still shapes its character. Local crafts reflect Dunstable’s history in straw plaiting.

Check the listings below for specific times and venues, and plan your week accordingly.
