Events in Castleford From 6th April – 12th April 2026
Home · Events in Castleford This Week
You can find creative activities across Castleford this week, with sessions for children at libraries and youth hubs. Workshops in the town centre market focus on Easter-themed crafts using recycled materials, while others involve building Lego models based on local landmarks such as St Mary’s Church and the old pit village site. These take place at Oakwood Library, The Hut Youth Hub, and temporary spaces near junctions along the A656 road. For active outings, football camps run at Westgate Park pitch from Tuesday to Thursday afternoons; rugby training for under-12s is held on Saturdays at Holmfirth Recreation Ground, using facilities maintained by Wakefield District Council. Themed roller disco events bring fun on wheels, both under 12s and over 12s, including adults, can attend The Hut Youth Hub this weekend with free admission during evening hours.
Evenings offer live music beyond the immediate area: 'The Worst Parts Of Me' perform at Leeds Live in Beeston Road on Wednesday night; another event features Nashville-style country tunes at a venue just outside Castleford’s boundary near Junction 32. These events provide real moments for community and connection.
What's on reflects everyday life, families gathering through play, young people training or skating, adults enjoying music after work. Activities are varied but grounded in participation rather than spectacle.
