Events in Plymouth From 4th May – 10th May 2026

You can find a good mix of events in Plymouth this week, whether you're planning evenings out or daytime activities. This week includes live music from tribute acts performing classic tracks at venues like The Barbican and Stonehouse, which also host emerging artists. Electronic music is also on offer, with DJs spinning house, tech, and bass sets, look for dedicated nights at venues around Armada Way, not in the city centre. Theatres such as Theatre Royal Plymouth regularly present drama, dance, and comedy throughout the week. Check local listings for further details. If you're near Royal William Yard, keep an eye out for seasonal markets and pop-up performances. For a night out, pubs near The Barbican and Sutton Harbour offer live music and a relaxed atmosphere. The city centre has regular entertainment options, but parking can be difficult, especially near Drake Circus. You can reach most venues using Great Western Railway services or the local bus network. Ferry Links provide access to surrounding areas, though services are affected by weather. The Barbican itself is worth a visit, recalling Plymouth’s maritime past, the Pilgrims departed from here in 1620. The post-war city centre, rebuilt after the Plymouth Blitz, is navigable on foot, but avoid driving near Drake Circus. A short drive away, Sawan Club hosts electronic music events, and The Barbican Theatre hosts live acts like Foxhole. Just outside the city, Cremyll Ferry offers transport options. Keep in mind that ferry services may be disrupted in winter. If you're visiting, plan ahead. Parking in the city centre remains a challenge. For the best experience, use public transport.
