Events in Nuneaton From 20th April – 26th April 2026

You can find a varied selection of events in Nuneaton this week, covering practical skills and creative exploration across multiple venues within the town centre and surrounding areas. At King Edward VI College on Station Road, there are two sessions: one focusing on basic first aid certification for adults with emergency response training, run by NHS Volunteers; another offering safeguarding techniques tailored to school staff and youth group leaders from 10am until noon. For residents interested in sustainable living, a composting workshop at Nuneaton Library begins at 2pm daily during this week’s duration, teaching how household waste can be repurposed using local materials.

Artistic engagement continues through regular paint sessions inspired by Van Gogh's sunflowers held each Wednesday evening from 6.30pm to 8.15pm at Corner House in Market Square. These are led by a tutor affiliated with Coventry College and include guided drawing exercises adapted for beginners using non-toxic paints.

Music events take place across town, including tribute nights every Friday night at The Abbey Theatre on High Street featuring classic rock bands from 7pm to 10pm; meanwhile, the Abbey Theatre hosts two soul evenings, on Thursday April 23rd and Saturday April 25th, with performances by local singers accompanied by a five-piece band.

Family activities include sensory storytime every Tuesday at Nuneaton Central Library on Warwick Road. Also scheduled is an interactive sustainability session for children aged six to twelve, held in the town’s green space adjacent to Bermuda Park railway station from Thursday through Saturday between 1pm and 3pm each day.

Other offerings span community-led training sessions hosted by local organisations including a beginner-level calligraphy workshop at The Abbey Theatre on Friday evening. More intimate events include psychic readings conducted twice weekly, one held in the former chapel building off Leamington Road and another inside an independent café near Coventry Canal, both running from 7pm to 9pm.

For wellbeing-focused pursuits: a chair yoga class is offered at The Abbey Theatre on Friday mornings; breathwork sessions for adults take place every Saturday morning within Trent Valley Railway’s old freight building. Times vary, check official listings below for precise details and venue access routes including public transport stops such as Bermuda Park railway station or Grand Central Station.

Note that some events may be affected by high traffic conditions along A47, A4254 roads during peak hours; disabled parking is limited near the Abbey Theatre which lies in a zone with on-street time restrictions. Flooding risks remain present due to local watercourses and rivers, particularly around low-lying areas such as parts of Friargate Business District or Oxford Canal stretch adjacent to West Coast Main Line junctions.

Despite these considerations, civic programming continues across Nuneaton’s key locations including heritage centres, public libraries, theatres and community gardens. The range reflects ongoing efforts by local groups aiming to strengthen connections through shared interests in learning, culture and health, offering accessible formats for residents from all backgrounds seeking meaningful engagement during this week of scheduled activity between April 19th and the 26th, 2026.
