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

You can find a varied programme of events across Rotherham this week, reflecting local traditions and new cultural efforts. Family workshops at Clifton Park Museum include clay sculpture sessions inspired by memories and patterns from the borough, with dates set for Easter week. Children who cannot ride without stabilisers can learn to ride tricycles on safe zones during school holidays. Musical productions continue at Montgomery Hall Theatre, which has undergone recent upgrades including acoustic improvements and better accessibility.

Live music includes tribute acts like Echoes of the Bunnymen performing at Chantry Brewery, folk sets from Hoopoe's Call at Raising the Rafters, and weekly quiz nights held at Wickersley Old Village Cricket Club. Beer tokens remain part of the tradition there, a custom maintained for decades to support community engagement.

Circus spectacles take place in family-friendly formats around Wentworth Park and near The Mill Dam, featuring acrobatics on harnesses without animals to comply with borough welfare regulations. These events are staged at public green spaces such as Clifton Park or Hooton Lodge Farm.

The annual Dubbed Out Camp Out! takes place at Hooton Lodge Farm, a short drive away from the city centre. Overnight slots require pre-booking; parking congestion is common on weekends near Rotherham Valley Country Park and around The Mill Dam. Themed storytimes like 'We’re Going on a Bear Hunt' are held in designated areas with scheduled timing to manage footfall.

Cultural exhibits at the Advanced Manufacturing Park visitor centre highlight industrial heritage dating back to 1328, displayed within a renovated historic building. These events occur across theatres, green spaces, community halls, and transport hubs such as those near Don Valley Road, where congestion impacts access.
