Events in Chelmsford From 16th March – 22nd March 2026

What's on in Chelmsford this week?

This week’s events focus on movement and live performance across several spots within the city. Morning classes at The Forum include stretch-and-move sessions suitable for all ages, using rhythmic activity to improve coordination without requiring experience.

Later, fitness workshops take place at Chelmsford Leisure Centre, where participants follow aerobic routines set to familiar pop songs from recent decades, no dance skill needed, just a willingness to move.

Evening entertainment includes comedy shows at The Courtyard Theatre, hosting both local and national acts. Performances run for three nights this week with starts after 7:30 PM; tickets are modestly priced but seating is limited so booking ahead helps.

Music events are held in varied locations across the city centre, acoustic sets take place at The George Pub, which has hosted unsigned bands since the late 1980s. Electronic mixes curated by local collectives also happen on weekend evenings.

Evening social options include a weekly silent disco in one of Chelmsford’s larger parking facilities converted into an event space. This format encourages physical engagement through dance without spoken interaction, ideal for low-pressure socialising after work.

Transport links remain vital: Chelmsford railway station has frequent services during peak times, though delays occur around Army and Navy roundabout on weekday evenings, especially when crowds gather near A12. For those arriving by car, parking remains tight in the city core; early arrival is recommended for events held between 5 PM and midnight.
