Events in Loughborough From 13th April – 19th April 2026

Home · Events in Loughborough This Week

You can find a varied programme of cultural and social activities across Loughborough between 12 April and 19 April 2026. Performances take place at venues including Loughborough Town Hall on Market Street, community spaces such as St. Mary’s Hall in Thorpe Acre, and local pubs like The Old Engine Works near Station Road. Stand-up comedy events happen weekly at the Loughborough Arts Centre, where emerging performers present new material; past lineups have included regional comedians touring from Leicester and Nottingham. Live music nights feature acoustic sets and small ensemble groups, typically held in evenings between 7:30pm and 10:00pm on Tuesdays and Fridays at The White Hart near the M1 junction.

Theatrical events include tribute performances to well-known musical acts of the late twentieth century, staged by local collectives such as Loughborough Players. These are usually held in school or church halls during weekday evenings, chosen for their acoustic qualities and availability outside peak hours. Social gatherings range from themed coffee mornings at The Bookshelf on North Road (open 9:00am to 12:30pm) to informal meetups hosted by community groups such as Loughborough Women’s Forum, which convene monthly in the evenings for discussion.

Details are updated weekly via official town listings. Events typically start between 6:30pm and 8:15pm, allowing flexibility around work or school schedules. All events operate under local council guidelines, with access controlled by venue capacity rather than ticketing systems.
