April
Lesnes Abbey Easter Festival 2026
Lesnes Abbey Easter Festival is back on April 4! With an amazing marketplace, free arts and crafts, face painting, dance workshops, and Easter Bunny visit, plus this year Jack Sparrow sails in too, and magic shows.
Easter Crafts Workshop
Come to Lesnes Abbey Woods on 7 April and do arts and crafts with your children, what better way to spend a morning or afternoon over the Easter Holidays. Each session lasts for 2 hours.
A Monster Calls
Don't miss this Youth Group Production at Geoffrey Whitworth Theatre between 8 to 11 April. Based on the novel written by Patrick Ness which was based on an idea by Siobhan Dowd who sadly wasn’t able to develop this herself before succumbing to illness, enjoy this hauntingly beautiful story about facing fear and overcoming grief.
Jesus Christ Superstar
Bird College's production of this groundbreaking rock opera will run from 16 to 25 April. Portraying the final week in the life of Jesus Christ, and exploring his complex relationships and ultimate sacrifice; this musical revolutionised the genre with its contemporary sound and dramatic intensity.
Her Modulo: Duets
London-based artist and musician Anneke Kampman presents the second iteration of Her-Modulo, with an evening of informal performances and workings-out by Anna Barham, Anneke Kampman, and Rachael Finney. Taking place at TACO! on 17 April.
Four Lines to Dartford
On the face of it, it seems strange that there should be four different ways of travelling by train from Charing Cross to Dartford, a distance of less than 20 miles. Learn about the development of the lines over the last 190 years, what the railway looked like and the sort of trains that you would have travelled on. Taking place at Central Library, Saturday 18 April.
A Night at the Movies Concert
Step into the spotlight for an electrifying night of show-stopping performances, brought to you by Theatre Box Performing Arts Academy on Sunday 19 April, at The Erith Playhouse!
Mollusc Field Recorder Day
Join Imogen Cavadino-Phillips to explore and record the molluscs of Lesnes Abbey Woods on 23 April. Join like-minded nature enthusiasts for a day of finding, identifying and recording slugs and snails!

Save the date for the Exchange's fourth annual spring craft and beer festival organised with Bexley Brewery! With craft workshops, great food and drink, and fantastic live music, everybody is welcome to this free family friendly festival from Friday 24 April to Sunday 26 April!
