This week in Plymouth, you’ll find a mix of events designed to suit different tastes. From dedicated family sessions with playful opportunities for kids, to engaging cultural displays and innovative showcases, there’s plenty to pique your interest. If you’re looking for something to fill the longer evenings, you can find a selection of live music and nightlife options. And for those keeping active, look forward to fitness and outdoor pursuits. Whether you’re a local rediscovering Plymouth, or a visitor hoping to make the most of your time, you’ll find options to suit your pace. We’ve curated a programme to help you explore what to do in Plymouth this week, with a focus on community and accessible experiences.

This week offers a broad range of options – from artistic explorations to active days out and family activities. Consider exploring the city’s artistic side, perhaps with a visit to a local gallery or performance. For families, interactive experiences are available. You could also make use of the reliable public transport options – including rail, bus and ferry services – to reach events across the city. The Tamar Valley Line provides access to scenic routes and nearby attractions. For those travelling further afield, Brittany Ferries connect Plymouth with France, while the A38 dual-carriageway makes road travel easy.

Keep an eye out for opportunities to enjoy live music, unwind with a drink in the city’s bars, or simply relax. Remember that ferry services can be affected by weather and parking in the city centre can be challenging. Check the listings below for times and venues, and plan your journey accordingly, utilising the Park and Ride services to avoid congestion. Plymouth’s history as a major port city, dating back to 1588 and the 1620 Pilgrim voyage, informs much of its cultural landscape today.
