Events in Halifax From 27th April – 3rd May 2026

You can find live music, family-friendly activities, and community gatherings shaping the week ahead in Halifax. Events this week follow a steady rhythm , skating sessions at Calderdale Leisure Centre are open to all ages; evening performances featuring rock and metal acts take place at local venues like The Old Chapel on Booth Street. These aren’t isolated events but part of an ongoing schedule across multiple locations, including Halstead Community Hub, where interactive workshops for children happen weekly in partnership with Halifax Council’s youth programme.

The city calendar also includes gatherings at public spaces such as Calderdale Park and the main concourse area outside Halifax Railway Station during weekday evenings. Some activities align with seasonal changes: a new cycling initiative has led to temporary closures on parts of the Halifax Greenway, limiting access between central areas from 10am to 4pm each Saturday.

For those planning around public transport, several venues remain accessible via bus routes running through Brighouse Road and B6138. The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway offers extended weekend services this week into April’s final days, with additional parking at the Oakworth Park park-and-ride site. Note that Halifax Greenway remains crowded during weekday afternoons due to high footfall from both pedestrians and cyclists.
