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

You can find a variety of events across Castleford this week, from 19 to 26 April 2026, with options for all age groups. Family sessions take place at local halls and green spaces near the town centre, including interactive play workshops at Westfield Park and storytime gatherings hosted by the Castleford Community Library on weekday afternoons. Live music nights feature tribute acts performing tracks from the 1980s to early 2000s in venues such as The Old Mill pub and St Mary’s Church hall. These performances are scheduled across multiple evenings, with some extending into late hours at Glasshoughton Station's community space on Saturday nights.

Comedy gigs take place weekly at local cafes along the A656 corridor, including one evening dedicated to emerging regional talent hosted by Castleford Arts Collective in partnership with Wakefield Civic Theatre. Fitness classes, ranging from yoga and Zumba to seated exercise routines, are offered across five locations: Xscape Yorkshire Leisure Complex Parking area, St Mary’s Church car park, and community halls near Junction 32 Shopping Centre.

Rollerdisco events are scheduled for three evenings at The Hut Youth Hub, a repurposed former pit village hall now used as a multipurpose venue. These feature themed sessions, such as retro dress-up nights or family-friendly rounds on Tuesday, to encourage participation across age groups. Social meetups focus on shared interests, including gardening collectives meeting near the River Calder and digital art workshops hosted by Castleford Creative Hub.

The town's calendar reflects ongoing civic life: structured yet varied in tone. Events are scheduled around public transport times to reduce reliance on private vehicles during peak periods. Anti-social behaviour remains a noted concern at weekend events; attendees are advised to remain aware, particularly near riverbanks and central shopping zones where litter pollution is persistent.
