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

You can find creative gatherings, live music evenings, and family sessions across Corby this week, from 19 to 26 April 2026. Hands-on art workshops take place at Rooftop Arts Centre and Oundle Library, where participants explore drawing or join storytelling projects for different age groups. These are held in accessible spaces designed for all skill levels. Themed cultural events celebrate mid-20th century styles, echoing Corby’s industrial roots, ironworkings noted before 1066, and its status as a New Town from 1950. For adults seeking development, there are interactive digital literacy sessions and professional workshops on communication skills or local job market trends.

Evenings feature live music performances by regional bands at Key Theatre and The Black Prince. Support acts appear alongside album launches by emerging artists. Informal arts meet-ups, comedy nights with homegrown talent, card collecting circles, and vintage model displays take place in library spaces like Westfield Library Hall or community halls such as St Mary’s Church Centre. Drop-in games afternoons operate on weekdays at Corby Library and Oundle Library.

These events reflect Corby’s civic rhythm, shaped by its railway heritage (East Midlands Railway services run hourly) and decades of industrial activity, including steel production at what was once Stewarts and Lloyds’ largest site. The balance between structured programmes and spontaneous gatherings continues to define community life here.
