Events in Weston-super-mare From 6th April – 12th April 2026

This week in Weston-super-Mare, community-led events take place across several venues. At the Town Hall Arts Space on Alexandra Parade, weekday mornings feature storytelling rooted in local folklore, drawn from records dating back to when sea bathing became popular in the 1800s. Children aged five to twelve can join hands-on workshops at Weston Library’s learning annex, creating tide-inspired art using reclaimed wood and sand collected near Birnbeck Pier.

Afternoon events occur in public spaces: an open-air stage by the seafront footpath hosts board game sessions on Wednesdays and Sundays, held under cover when weather allows. Materials are stored at the Leisure Dome project site, though access remains limited due to uncertainty over its future development.

Evening programmes include stand-up comedy nights at The Tropicana Community Hub, now used for arts after the original swimming pool closed, and live music in converted retail units along Waterloo Street. Indie-folk acts perform weekly on Friday evenings, while monthly retro dance sets featuring 1980s pop tunes are hosted by a local collective near the bus hub.

For heritage exploration through contemporary lenses, there’s a themed series focused on maritime history during the town’s late 19th-century expansion. Speakers come from preservation societies operating since 1920 and reference historical records held in Weston-super-Mare Borough Council archives.
