There’s nothing quite like a summer evening at The Pantiles, where live music, great food, and a buzzing atmosphere come together under the beautiful Georgian colonnade. Live at The Pantiles has become a seasonal highlight in Tunbridge Wells, running every Thursday evening from 28th May to 3rd September 2026. This much-loved event brings people together for relaxed evenings of music, dining, and entertainment in one of the town’s most iconic settings.

A Summer of Live Music

Performances take place from 7pm to 10pm, capturing the essence of "Where the Town Comes Alive." Whether meeting friends after work, enjoying a family evening out, or planning a relaxed summer date night, The Pantiles offers a fantastic setting for live music and good company. With no entry fee, the event is more accessible than ever, welcoming everyone to enjoy live entertainment in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.

A Brilliant Atmosphere in a Historic Setting

Set against the historic backdrop of The Pantiles, the event is about much more than the music. The area’s independent cafés, bars, and restaurants create a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, with plenty of options for food and drink before, during, or after the performance. Consider booking a table at one of the participating restaurants, such as The Tunbridge Wells Hotel or La Casa Vecchia.

From Abalicious's high-energy ABBA tribute to Pollito Boogaloo's vibrant fusion of Colombian cumbia and salsa, there’s something for every music lover. Derek Nash and Noel McCalla will bring soul and funk classics to the stage, promising standout evenings for fans of Al Green, Bill Withers, and more.

Free to Attend

This year, Live at The Pantiles is completely free to attend, making it easy to drop by and enjoy the music. While no ticket purchase is required, booking a table for dinner is recommended, especially for popular performances.
