DARTFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL - MARCH 2025 EVENTS

The sun is starting to shine and March is breathing new life into our busy events calendar. We have some great events for you to attend this month, and just wanted to let you know in advance for your diaries.

This Sunday we'll be hosting a Romanian market on the High Street, on top of our usual Thursday and Sunday markets. Brought to you by O&F Events, there’ll be loads on offer such as traditional food, special guest Maria Buza, face painting and more.

We will also be paying our respects at One Bell Corner as part of the Covid-19 National Day of Reflection. Join us for a wreath laying ceremony at 11am.

The following day will see a special International Women's Day evening reception at the Civic Centre. This event is free and open to everyone. We’d be delighted to bring together women from across our community who are proud to be achieving in their chosen fields from the worlds of business and sport, charities and public service, healthcare, education and the arts.

As part of a commitment to International Women’s Day and its theme for 2025, “Accelerate Action", you’ll hear from guest speakers and be able to network after.

Women from all backgrounds and walks-of-life are welcome to this networking event, to meet one another and share their lives and experience with others.

View our International Women's Day guest speakers and book your free tickets.

We're partnering up with Cohesion Plus to deliver the Holi Festival of Colour on Sunday, March 16. The Outdoor Theatre in Central Park becomes a sea of colours to celebrate this Hindu festival - the event is free to attend and no booking is required.

We're also excited to announce that our programme of market entertainment with Cohesion Plus returns this month. Come along to our Saturday market on March 29 to enjoy live music and entertainment alongside a brilliant range of stalls.
