You can find a range of events in Stevenage this week covering fitness, music, family activities, and cultural experiences at venues across town. Outdoor runs take place on weekend mornings at Ridlins Athletic Track; participants often include local running clubs linked to Hertfordshire Athletics. On Saturday afternoons, football matches are held under floodlights near The Greenway, drawing spectators from nearby towns such as Buntingford and Hitchin. During the Easter holidays, families can attend animal-themed workshops at Stevenage Museum on Chells Road, focusing on local wildlife like hedgehogs and barn owls using tactile exhibits for children aged five to twelve.
Music programming includes a 1960s tribute performance hosted by Hertfordshire Community Arts Collective in the Guildhall foyer, featuring vocals from former members of regional bands active during that era. On Friday evenings, DJs deliver soulful and retro beats at the Riverside Leisure Centre’s multipurpose hall, with playlists informed by resident feedback through a council-run consultation.
For quieter moments, lunchtime talks hosted by Stevenage History Forum take place in the library basement every Wednesday; recent sessions have explored Roman farming practices identified during excavations near Chells Road and early market charters. Themed afternoons at The Corner Café combine film screenings from British Pathé archives with afternoon tea on weekdays.
Local business networking gatherings occur monthly over coffee, held in the West End Pavilion space; these sessions attract small enterprises based along Great North Road near Stevenage Railway Station. Families can also attend a wellbeing support session at Hertfordshire Community Health Hub focused on infant nutrition and developmental milestones, offered twice weekly during school holidays.
All activities reflect civic engagement across the town, drawing on its historical foundations while supporting modern public use of space. Check listings below for full details.
