Events in Kirkby From 30th March – 5th April 2026

You can find live music, family activities, and wellness sessions shaping what's on in Kirkby this week. Events across town include an 80s-themed night at Headbolt Lane Station’s community space with a synth-pop playlist and drag performances by local artists who have taken part in Liverpool Pride. Tuesday evenings feature an open mic at Kirkby Library, drawing attendees from the Merseyrail Northern Line corridor, including those commuting into Manchester and Wigan. On weekends, Mill Dam Park hosts family crafts inspired by Easter traditions, like decorating wooden eggs or building miniature nests using natural materials, coordinated with playground staff in designated areas away from the car park to maintain safety during peak times. A mindfulness session at St Modwen Community Centre, designed for parent carers managing responsibilities amid limited public transport support, includes guided breathing led by a facilitator familiar with local challenges. Comedy nights take place across western areas of Kirkby, including Melling and Lydiate, using the East Lancashire Road (A580) as an access route, though parking remains restricted on weekends due to high demand at Mill Dam Park.
