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

You can find a varied programme in Boston this week, from networking events to performances and outdoor activities. A free taster session with the Boston Rock Choir is on 13 May at Boston Town F C. Check out the Black Dyke Band’s concert at St Botolph's Church on 16 May. The Silver Screen Movie Club screens 'Song Sung Blue' at Blackfriars Arts Centre on 11 May. Young performers from Blackfriars Theatre Academy stage a junior version of '9 to 5: The Musical' at the same venue from 14 to 16 May. A sing-along featuring songs from Wicked takes place at The Biz - School of Performing Arts on 16 May. For outdoor activity, consider the RSPB Seal and Birdwatching Cruise on 11 May. These events are spread across the town, with several venues accessible via the MBTA subway (T) network. The Boston Bus Station and Longfellow Bridge provide key transit links. Parking in downtown Boston is limited, so consider using public transport. The town’s history as a medieval port, once part of the Hanseatic League, continues to shape its character. Explore the network of historic alleys and reflect on Boston’s role as the namesake of Boston, Massachusetts. A short drive away from the city centre, the Water Rail Way trail offers opportunities for a walk or cycle. Keep an eye on listings for times and venues, especially if planning a trip to outer areas. Use the MBTA subway (T) for reliable access to events outside the city centre.
