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

You can find live performances, cultural events, and comedy nights across Grantham this week, with programming hosted at spaces that reflect the town’s historic character. Walking theatre adaptations take place in notable buildings such as the old market hall on Spittlegate and parts of St Wulfram’s Churchyard, locations where stories unfold amid architectural features dating back to the 12th century. Music evenings include revivals of classic Motown tracks performed at local halls, including one evening held near Ruston and Hornsby's original site on North Road. Stand-up comedy is scheduled across two weekends, with acts performing at dedicated arts venues like the Grantham Arts Centre, which has hosted touring performers since its opening as a repertory space.

Curated exhibitions draw from local archives, some exploring Newton’s early life in nearby Woolsthorpe or Thatcher’s political beginnings, and are open to family groups on weekdays. These events reflect ongoing links between community arts collectives and visiting ensembles, with many requiring advance booking due to limited seating capacity. The programming avoids large-scale spectacle; instead, it focuses on storytelling, rhythm-based performances, and reflective conversation.

This week includes a notable evening dedicated to spoken-word pieces inspired by seasonal flooding patterns of the River Witham, records from 1983 onward, and an event for older audiences centered on personal memory archives gathered in recent decades. All times are listed below; venues include areas near Grantham Northern Relief Road, though parking remains limited during peak hours and access may be affected by ongoing ground conditions at the viaduct site.
