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

This week’s programme includes performances at established community venues such as the Palace Theatre, where a tribute concert to John Bonham , born just south of town , will take place on Thursday evening. The event follows recent renovations funded by local heritage grants and is part of a series of music-led evenings hosted in partnership with Worcestershire Arts Council. Family-friendly shows are held at Redditch Town Centre’s covered walkway, where a storytelling musical based around Bordesley Abbey's history is scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

Evenings feature events staged within or adjacent to Kingfisher Shopping Centre; late-night gatherings often include emerging comedy performers from nearby Birmingham and Worcester colleges. The town’s moderate nightlife intensity shows in start times, typically beginning at 7:30pm rather than earlier, allowing time for rail commuters using the Cross-City Line train services , which stop directly at Redditch Railway Station every hour.

Weekday performances include a series of educational museum talks held at the former needle-making factory site on Church Street. These sessions explore industrial heritage and are delivered by local historians linked to the town’s archive project, now open to all ages during school term time. While parking remains limited in central Redditch , especially near A435 junctions during peak hours , event listings include updated transport guidance for bus routes from Birmingham International Airport via M42 motorway access.
