The latest events, gigs, theatre, comedy and family days out in Carnoustie — updated daily from venues across the city.
Carnoustie has a busier events calendar than its size suggests. Alongside the venues that programme year-round — theatres, town halls, community centres, pubs with a back room and a PA — there is a steady rhythm of seasonal markets, charity fundraisers, sports fixtures and family days out that rarely make it into national listings. This page pulls together everything we currently hold for Carnoustie so you can see it in one place.
Listings below are refreshed daily from venue websites and ticketing feeds, so they reflect what is genuinely on sale rather than an out-of-date printed programme. Where a venue publishes ticket links, those go straight through to the box office. Where an event is free or drop-in, it still appears here so you can plan around it.
If you are travelling to Carnoustie for something specific, it is worth checking nearby towns too — much of Scotland is within easy driving or rail distance, and a quiet weekend locally often coincides with a festival one town over. Use the links further down this page to hop across the region.
