Events in Loughborough From 30th March – 5th April 2026

You can find a range of events in Loughborough this week, drawing on community routines and local creativity. Sessions take place at parks, village halls, and shared spaces across the town. Family workshops run weekly at Thorpe Acre Community Centre, while wellness gatherings like Qigong occur in Shelthorpe Village Hall. Craft activities use seasonal ingredients gathered from nearby green spaces, including edible plants collected during foraging walks. Toddler groups meet regularly at Loughborough Library Annex, and business professionals connect over networking brunches in the same hall.

Evenings feature live music at intimate spots: rock tributes perform at The Dew Drop on Wednesday and Saturday; a candlelit tribute to Prince is scheduled Thursday night. A punk-infused set takes place Friday at Duffy's Bar, an arts space previously used by student theatre groups. Some performers incorporate industrial sounds from the town’s past into their sets.

Easter-themed activities include craft sessions for children with special educational needs held across three community centres. Food lovers can find Italian-style pizza pop-ups at The Dew Drop on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. These feature seasonal toppings like wild garlic and roasted fennel, using the same informal space that has hosted music events since 2019.

All venues are within walking distance of Loughborough Railway Station or accessible via bus route 345 from Great Central Road. The town’s layout, shaped by its medieval origins as 'Lucteburne' and later industrial growth, remains visible in the alignment of roads like A6004 Ring Road, which follows early paths near former lace mills.
