Events in Havant From 6th April – 12th April 2026

You can find a range of activities across Havant this week that reflect civic engagement and cultural expression, running from 5 to 12 April 2026. At Pets at Home Havant on West Street, families can join weekly children's workshops featuring animal-themed crafts using recycled materials, such as creating model foxes or deer out of cardboard, and experimenting with natural dyes on fabric. These sessions are held every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon at the former community centre space now repurposed for arts education.

On Wednesday evenings, a group from Havant Conservation Volunteers meets near Havant Station to construct oyster baskets using traditional techniques; these will be deployed in nearby marshland habitats as part of an ongoing ecological recovery project. The work is led by local conservation officers and welcomes all ages with no prior experience needed, materials are supplied.

In the arts, a performance of Roald Dahl's The BFG adapted for stage has been staged at Chichester Festival Theatre on 6 April; it runs in two evening shows per day through to 10 April. Local youth theatre groups perform their own production of Six Teen Edition, featuring six student actors portraying Tudor queens, from the Civic Hall auditorium on 8 and 9 April.

Live music events include a retrospective set at The Hut on Saturday night focusing on UK-based acts from the mid-1960s; sound is amplified via portable systems to minimise noise pollution in residential zones. Informal networking sessions for small business owners take place every Friday evening in Havant’s commercial hub, specifically within office spaces leased by local traders.
