King’s Week 2026 takes place from Thursday 25 June to Wednesday 1 July 2026!

The week provides our pupils with a huge range of opportunities to perform, learn and celebrate each other within the setting of a ‘school arts festival’. It is bigger than ever this year and we hope that you can come and join us in supporting them. Of over 200 events, only 54 require tickets.

Tickets go on sale on Thursday 14 May 2026 at 10:30am. As ever, OKS, parents and members of the wider King’s community are warmly welcome to attend events and support our pupils. Early booking is advised, and you can contact the Box Office for any queries: boxoffice@kings-school.co.uk

If you're an OKS visiting during King's Week, make sure to reach out to the Development Team. We'd love to meet you and take you for a tour of your old School and house during your trip. The team can be emailed at community@kings-school.co.uk

Here are our top picks for the week:

Come From Away (School Play) - Various Dates

Come From Away tells the heartwarming true story of how the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, welcomed nearly 7,000 stranded airline passengers (“Come From Aways”) when U.S. airspace closed after 9/11. This doubled the town’s population and led to unexpected friendships, community spirit, and acts of profound generosity amidst global tragedy. The musical interweaves stories of various passengers and locals, showcasing cultural clashes turning into trust as people from 100 countries find refuge and connection in this isolated community.

Please support our pupils at this year's landmark King's Week play.

Performances take place on Saturday 27 June, Sunday 28 June and Monday 29 June. Tickets are £8. Book here.
