Events in Havant From 27th April – 3rd May 2026

You can find a mix of events in Havant this week, covering music, arts, and hands-on creative activities that show local initiative and regional links. On Friday evening, jazz sets by big band ensembles take place at The Old Hall, featuring arrangements by contemporary composers alongside vintage instruments. Saturday afternoon brings a singer-songwriter session at the community hall near Havant Station, with performers from Portsmouth’s independent music scene and emerging names based locally. For quieter moments, classical guitar recitals happen at St Faith's Church on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, each highlighting works by British composers active in the 20th century, including pieces composed for local venues in Hampshire. These events are both cultural offerings and civic moments where residents gather beyond formal settings; painting workshops explore seasonal flora like primroses and bluebells, while other sessions focus on improvisational musical expression through small group work led by tutors from the Portsmouth Conservatoire network. All programming reflects regional practices with open influence, Havant sits along key rail routes connecting Winchester to Gosport via Stagecoach South services. The consistent presence of local talent shows a long-term commitment to community-led activity, with venues like The Old Hall and St Faith's Church serving as stable platforms for ongoing exchange rather than temporary installations.
