Fareham's next six weeks: Garsons pumpkins from 9 October, Halloween half term from the 24th, then Cams Hall fireworks on 30 October and Whiteley's on 1 Nov.

Fareham’s next six weeks build to Halloween half term, which runs from Saturday 24 October, and then to fireworks at Cams Hall on Friday 30 October, Whiteley on Sunday 1 November and AFC Portchester on Friday 6 November. Before that come Garsons’ pumpkin harvest from Friday 9 October, A Vision of Elvis at Fareham Live the same night, three Fareham Town home games and the October markets.

Everything below comes from the organisers’ own listings, read on 29 September and rechecked on 6 October 2026, and every entry links back to its source so you can check before you set off. Fareham Live prices are the cheapest seat on sale that day and move as the house fills. For places that are open whatever the month, see our guide to things to do in Fareham.

Queries about the three weekly markets go to Bray Associates on 07737 630843. The library craft fair and Flo’s Market, both monthly, are listed under their next dates above.

Further ahead

Fareham’s Christmas lights switch-on is on Saturday 21 November, the two Titchfield Santa’s grottos open the same day, and the Fareham Live pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, opens on Friday 11 December. Each has its own page with times and prices.

Getting there

Fareham Live and the library are both on Osborn Road, a short walk from West Street and the bus station. Town centre car parks charge until 6pm from Monday to Saturday and are free after that, so an evening show costs nothing to park for. Tariffs are on our parking in Fareham page, and the roadworks and travel page has this week’s closures.

Send us your event

Running something in Fareham, Portchester, Titchfield, Stubbington, Whiteley, Locks Heath or Warsash? Email hello@farehamnews.co.uk with the date, time, venue, price and a photo. Listings are free of charge, and yours goes on this page and in the diary on our What’s On section.

This page is rewritten as organisers confirm new dates. Every listing was read on 29 September 2026 and rechecked on 3 October 2026. Dates can still change, so use the links before you travel.
