Events in Halifax From 6th April – 12th April 2026

You can find a varied mix of events across Halifax this week, with activities spread through the city’s neighbourhoods. At Halifax Central Library and community spots like The Hub on Brighouse Road, story sessions for children under five continue with themed workshops based on books such as The Magic Faraway Tree and The Highway Rat. These hands-on craft events support early literacy in a setting familiar to many local families. Younger kids also have skating options at Halifax Ice Rink during weekday afternoons.

Live music returns in smaller venues like The Cinelli Brothers' regular sets at the White Rose Inn and Jim Jones All Stars’ performances at Brighouse Civic Hall, where rock acts attract consistent local interest. Full-band shows are scheduled for Halifax Town Hall’s historic chamber space on weekend evenings, offering a more formal atmosphere than typical city centre gigs.

Adults interested in hands-on experiences can attend the vintage hairstyling masterclass at The Piece Hall, which began as a wool warehouse in 1826. Nearby craft meet-ups gather residents from Halifax Green and Hoar Side Moor for textile projects rooted in the region’s industrial past.

Whether visiting on weekday mornings or weekend evenings, events reflect long-standing community practices shaped by Halifax’s history, offering continuity over novelty. Check listings below for times and venues.
