Events in Basildon From 25th May – 31st May 2026

Looking for events in Basildon this week? You can find a mix of family-friendly outings and leisure options, from active play at Northlands Park to quieter moments at the Towngate Theatre. The focus is on open spaces and play areas, like those in Northlands Park and the green areas around Lake Meadows. For music, check local listings for sessions at the Towngate Theatre or events at Festival Leisure Park. If you're planning to visit Festival Leisure Park, be aware it's a short drive away from the city centre. The C2C train service links directly to Basildon Station, making it easy to reach Eastgate Shopping Centre or the town centre. For drivers, expect congestion on the A13 and London Road during peak hours. The EHPPS May Open Day at Lake Meadows is worth checking for family activities. There are also events at the Basildon Sporting Village. Consider travel time, venues near Ramsden Bellhouse and Mountnessing Road are just outside the city, so allow extra time if parking is a concern.
