Events in Runcorn From 23rd March – 29th March 2026

Home · Events in Runcorn This Week

Events in Runcorn this week include accessible gatherings that reflect local rhythms across different parts of the town. On Monday, March 24, the Riverside Community Centre hosts an early afternoon drop-in for families featuring supervised play sessions in its indoor soft-play area; parents can use nearby seating and access free tea and coffee while children engage with sensory toys. By Tuesday evening, live music takes place at The Anchor pub on Church Street, acoustic sets from local artists begin at 7:30pm and run into the night, drawing attendees who gather across its three bars. This space sees regular weekend footfall due to connections via Runcorn Busway link routes.

On Thursday, March 26, a collaborative arts workshop is held in Studio Hub at The Courtyard complex, an indoor venue just outside the city near Shopping City where participants design textile-based art using donated materials; no prior experience required and all supplies provided. Saturday’s highlight occurs later: an open-air performance on the Runcorn Railway Bridge footpath from 5pm to dusk, featuring a short set by Mersey Valley Youth Choir before evening traffic builds during rush hour.

These events take place across several areas within Runcorn, including near Silver Jubilee Bridge access points and around central shopping hubs, offering residents brief respites in shared public spaces. Check listings below for times, precise locations on maps, and any parking arrangements needed due to congestion concerns at peak hours along motorway routes into the town centre.
