Events in Tamworth From 10th August – 16th August 2026

It’s a week for practical preparations and family activities as you consider things to do in Tamworth. You’ll find opportunities to prepare for the upcoming school term, alongside civic initiatives focused on community safety. Look for sustainable options for back-to-school uniforms, reducing waste and cost. For added security, you are invited to a free event hosted by local police, designed to help protect your belongings and discuss crime prevention, particularly relevant given recent reports near the train station and Ankerside Shopping Centre. These practical gatherings offer a chance to connect with local services and benefit your neighbours.

Later in the week, a larger event offers a diverse range of entertainment. This gathering features live music – a recurring theme in Tamworth’s social calendar – alongside circus performances and interactive workshops. You might discover a new skill or simply enjoy the atmosphere created by local talent. Consider travelling to the event via the M42 or A5, but be aware of potential congestion on the latter during peak hours.

This mix ensures that whether you are looking to address essential tasks or seek cultural engagement, you have options. It’s a chance to experience the town’s community spirit, drawing on Tamworth’s Anglo-Saxon roots as a regional centre. The town continues to evolve, yet retains its dedication to inclusive local events.
