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

You can find family-focused activities, live music nights, and creative workshops across Oldham this week, from 5 to 12 April 2026. Events include developmental clinics for children aged 9–12 and 24–30 months at community hubs like Shaw Children's Centre and Lees Library, with health assessments offered by NHS-affiliated staff on Saturdays. Gardening talks exploring urban greenery are held at Daisy Nook Garden Centre, drawing from initiatives such as the Oldham Allotments Network.

For cultural events, an exhibition titled Spots and Dots opens at Greenfield Methodist Church this Friday evening, with guided walks through historic mill districts available every Saturday. Craft sessions include hands-on leatherwork using upcycled materials sourced from local recycling centres, held weekly at Limehurst Library.

Live music is active across the borough: Sunday evenings feature soul and Afrobeats DJ sets at The Manchester Lounge on Oldham Road, while midweek experimental sound shows take place in a converted warehouse space near Werneth Park. Themed karaoke nights are scheduled for Thursdays at Bees Knees Oldham, open to all skill levels.

Gentle gatherings include book chats hosted by Oldham Library staff every Wednesday and parenting forums held on Tuesday evenings at the Council's civic offices adjacent to Town Hall, though structural concerns there persist, including masonry damage. Digital skills sessions for adults run weekly through local charity partnerships. Whether exploring a new hobby, reconnecting with neighbours, or unwinding after work via public transport like Metrolink and Oldham Werneth railway station, this schedule offers accessible civic engagement across the borough’s diverse districts.
