Events in Tamworth From 20th April – 26th April 2026

You can find plenty of events in Tamworth this week across venues that aren’t all within walking distance. This week’s offerings include live music ranging from small gigs at The Loft on Church Street to full dance nights at Ankerside Social Club, with an emphasis on underground sounds like hip hop, garage, drum and bass, and funk. These shows are often organized by local collectives linked to the town’s long-running musical traditions, some of which have been active since community-run music circles began meeting in public halls as early as 1987.

Regulars mix genres across nightspots: soul sets on weekday afternoons at The Corner Café on Market Square, electronic acts under low lighting near the west entrance to Tamworth train station, and tribute performances for eras like late-90s raves or early-2000s grime nights. Most events take place in repurposed spaces, such as former workshops at Tamworth Industrial Yard.

There’s also time for quieter moments: on Thursday evenings, amateur artists from the Elford Art Group gather to share work and connect through creativity in a dedicated space within Elford Village Hall. The mix of music-driven nights, art-sharing sessions, and community events means there’s always somewhere new to check out, especially if the weather allows for outdoor markets at Church Green.
