Events in Stoke-on-trent From 20th April – 26th April 2026

You can find a range of cultural and community events this week in Stoke-on-Trent. The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery hosts a daily workshop on traditional slipware techniques using locally sourced clay at its Hanley site until 26 April. The Stoke Rep Theatre presents a youth-led adaptation of Hadestown, performed by students aged 14 to 18 from local schools; the production runs in three evening shows across Thursday and Saturday, with tickets available through the theatre’s official booking system.

Live music includes a soul-punk-jazz fusion set at Artisan Tap on Friday night. The venue is located just outside the city, requiring a short drive from central areas. Family events continue with a craft session at Whiston Village Hall where participants make ceramic Highland cows while listening to curated tracks; this event is hosted by an arts collective supported by Staffordshire County Council.

Youth activities include theatre workshops at Chatterley Whitfield and an outdoor photography project along the canal towpath. For adults, business forums on digital innovation take place across campus spaces in Stoke-on-Trent College, with sessions held between Tuesday and Thursday evenings; these cover cyber security risks relevant to small firms operating in industrial zones like Fenton or Longton.

Support initiatives include a drop-in session for care leavers at the Newbridge Community Hub (Tunstall), an empowerment gathering led by women in local leadership roles on Wednesday evening, and guided walks through Moorland Reserves starting from Chatterley Whitfield’s car park. The city operates within its established rhythm: practical, inclusive, rooted in civic infrastructure rather than spectacle.
