Harrow's diary to 10 November: the Bee Gees night on 11 October, half term at Headstone Manor and the Arts Centre, then the Byron Park fireworks on 7 November.

October in Harrow runs through two venues more than any others. Harrow Arts Centre in Hatch End has a show or exhibition most weeks, from a Bee Gees night on Sunday 11 October to a half term of family shows. Headstone Manor has its Tuesday talks, a free pumpkin trail and an artisan market in the Great Barn. Then the borough’s biggest night of the autumn arrives: the Harrow Fireworks and Diwali event at Byron Park on Saturday 7 November.

Everything below comes from the organisers’ own listings, read on 29 September 2026 and rechecked on 3 October, and every entry links back to its source. Prices are only given where the organiser publishes them. For places that are open whatever the month, see our guide to things to do in Harrow.
