Events in Oldbury From 13th April – 19th April 2026

You can find a range of events across Oldbury this week, from music and comedy to community gatherings. Rock acts perform at Hare And Hounds Kings Heath, playing set rotations that include folk songs rooted in local industrial history. Experimental jazz appears weekly at The Night Owl, hosted in a repurposed warehouse near Junction 2 of the M5, drawing crowds beyond Oldbury’s immediate area.

Comedy shows take place at Holly Bush Arts Centre and Be At One Birmingham, both held in spaces adapted from former transport hubs. Performers address topics like delays on public transit and changes to local infrastructure, including the removal of the railway viaduct.

Social events include a quiz night at Stour Valley Community Centre focusing on 1970s pop culture, while speed dating sessions run weekly for adults over thirty-five in partnership with Sandwell & Dudley Youth Hub. These take place in accessible, familiar spaces that support informal networks among residents.

Family-friendly options feature an afternoon festival organised by the A4123 Green Space Trust on Saturday, held at a former industrial site repurposed into green space. The event showcases interactive exhibits made from recycled materials, echoing Oldbury’s past while encouraging participation. Times are listed below for each venue location.
