Kingston has a number of events going on within the town at any time during the year. These range from special markets, sporting events, leisure activities, ethnic events, music festivals and cultural events. The best place to find out what is going on in Kingston at any one time is by looking at the council's website, under the following "what's on" section:

The events themselves are held all around the Borough; at chapels, theatres, in the university, by the river, in the parks, in the markets and even in the main shopping centres.

For example, the Kingston Green Fair has been held annually since 1987 in Canbury Gardens, next to the river, on the Spring Bank Holiday. The word "Green" in the title refers to the ethos of the fair as promoting sustainable development. For instance no meat or other products derived from dead animals are allowed to be sold, and no electricity is permitted on the site unless generated by wind, sun, or bicycle power.

Whatever your fancy, there is always something to do, something to see and some place to go in Kingston.
