Loughborough, a town with origins tracing back to the Domesday Book of 1086, offers a calendar of events reflecting its historic character and modern outlook. The town’s industrial past, marked by developments in bell-founding and manufacturing, has given way to a lively university town with a growing cultural scene. This week, consider exploring performances at one of the venues or taking advantage of rail connections via Loughborough Railway Station to reach events further afield.

For those interested in the town’s heritage, check if any walking tours are scheduled to reveal the legacy of figures like John Taylor.
