Manic Mugday - Brightons no.1 Comedy Show (on a Monday)
A weekly comedy competition at The Walrus features open-access stand-up with select paid performances.
Home · Events in Haywards Heath This Week
Live music and entertainment run through Haywards Heath from 12 April to 19 April 2026, shaped by local rhythms. Events include stand-up comedy at the Old Vicarage Hall and lunchtime concerts at community centres along Station Road. These gatherings spotlight emerging artists connected to Brighton’s independent circuits, with performances at venues like The Salt Cellar and The Tannery Bar. DJ sets for late-night sessions take place in small clubs near Haywards Heath Railway Station, attracting attendees from nearby villages such as Buxted and Worthing. Cultural events continue into quieter hours, such as a Bridgerton-style afternoon tea hosted by Ockenden Manor Hotel & Spa in its Edwardian lounge, and are timed to suit rail commuters arriving home after 18:30.
These events reflect how the area blends heritage with contemporary life, anchored not only in sound but shared civic experiences. The railway station remains central, the platforms often echo with evening trains from London Victoria, but so too do footpaths leading past St Mary’s Church to Handcross Gardens, where springtime walks are popular despite occasional muddiness on Undercliff Walk. You can find the full list of times and venues below.
