Events in Aylesbury From 11th May – 17th May 2026

Home · Events in Aylesbury This Week

This week in Aylesbury, from May 10th to May 17th, a range of events take place across the town. You can find sessions to build practical skills, from care planning to creative workshops. Aylesbury Waterside Theatre hosts a comedy musical based on ancient Egyptian history, while Queens Park Arts Centre features a tribute band playing classic Rush tracks. For those interested in live music, check out the Budapest Cafe Orchestra at The Anthony Hall. If you’re looking for something different, a paint-and-sip event happens at The Five Arrows. There’s also a guided walk at Aston Clinton Ragpits, ideal for exploring local chalk grassland. You can find family-friendly options too, including a fostering information evening and an open event at Aylesbury UTC. The town’s green spaces, like Aylesbury Park, are available for walks and recreation. Parking is limited in the town centre, especially around venues such as Waddesdon Manor, and public car parks fill up quickly during peak times. Aylesbury developed as an administrative centre in the 18th century and later expanded as a commuter hub, with connections via the Great Western Railway and the M25. You can find events across the town, including at venues just outside the city. The town has a hillfort from 650 BC and Roman occupation along Akeman Street, with growth continuing through the 19th and 20th centuries. The current events reflect both historic roots and modern activity. Check the listings below for times and venues.
