Events in Christchurch From 1st June – 7th June 2026

You can find a range of events across Christchurch this week, with options extending to Poole and Bournemouth. This week includes live music, from tribute acts to DJ sets, and dance events. Families with young children can enjoy outdoor walks and relaxed screenings, though the splashpark gets busy on sunny days. Shoppers can browse second-hand items at several car boot sales, while local markets offer fresh produce and crafts. Outdoor activities are well represented, and there are plenty of ways to change pace and unwind. Boat trips around Christchurch Harbour are available, and the ferry service supports day trips. The town, historically known as Twynham, continues to recover from recent earthquakes, so some areas may still be under renovation. Traffic and roadworks affect travel times, and parking is limited. Check the listings for times and venues. The Christchurch Gondola offers scenic views, and the Ferrymead Railway provides access to nearby areas. The one-way system in the town centre may take some getting used to, and work on the bypass is altering the character of Bargates.
