Events in Grays From 30th March – 5th April 2026

You can find community-focused activities across Grays this week, aimed at families and young children. Sessions for infants under three are held at Lakeside Community Centre during morning hours, focusing on sensory play through touch, sound, and movement. These include guided interactions that support early development.

Weekly workshops take place in shared spaces like Grays Library’s multipurpose room, where children aged four to eight join storytelling sessions enhanced by rhythm-based games and dance activities.

Live music events continue throughout the week. Friday evenings feature acoustic acts at The Hub near Orsett Road, drawing local performers from Thurrock and surrounding areas. Larger performances are planned for Sunday afternoon at Grays Beach Pavilion, where an international folk ensemble will play in front of open-air seating along the shoreline.

Themed gatherings also run during this period. A spring nature festival is taking place across several green spaces including Riverside Park and Greenfield Meadow, with clay sculpting activities paired with outdoor games focused on seasonal flora identification, events that have drawn children from local primary schools.

These events include daily volunteer-led information points to guide visitors.
