Events in Dundee From 20th April – 26th April 2026

You can find community events, creative expression, and live performances across Dundee this week that highlight continuity and renewal. Families can join play sessions at Camperdown Park where children engage with nature through sensory activities led by youth workers, a part of an ongoing effort to support inclusive access in green spaces. Parents are invited to take part in story-building workshops using tactile materials and simple props inspired by regional folklore; these happen every Tuesday and Saturday at the Camperdown Community Centre, which recently updated its signage after feedback about navigating cobbled paths near the entrance.

For music lovers, evenings feature performances across several venues. On Wednesday, student bands from Dundee College of Music perform in the main hall of the University’s West Dock site, a space also used for rehearsals during non-event times, offering sets ranging from jazz fusion to indie folk. A tribute to Dolly Parton is scheduled for Friday at an unheated venue on East Dock Street; patrons are advised about limited shelter due to structural concerns near old loading docks.

The K-Pop event takes place in a former bus depot adjacent to Seagate Bus Station. Its open-air layout means it runs regardless of weather, with staff stationed at access points managing footfall during peak times when congestion on nearby A92 routes increases. The event runs from 6pm until midnight.

Comedy programming includes two shows featuring regional voices: one in the Dundee Ice Arena community lounge (which also hosts AI tech talks), and another in an adapted warehouse space off King Street, accessible via public walkways. Visual culture is highlighted through V&A Dundee's new exhibition on Palestinian embroidery, hand-stitched panels displayed along gallery corridors that reference migration routes mapped using 19th-century railway data; this context appears in supplementary signage next to each piece.

All events list confirmed times and venue access details, with corrections made following earlier inaccuracies reported by users. Entry is free for residents holding a Dundee postcode, which helps reduce reliance on underutilized car parks near city centre retail hubs during event periods.
