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

Events in Dudley this week include community-led gatherings, music performances, and cultural activities spread across different parts of town. On Thursday evening at 6pm, a folk rock session takes place at The Old Vicarage Community Hub on Hill Street, a regular spot for acoustic sets by local musicians drawing from Northern Soul traditions and post-punk influences. This week’s highlight is a three-day fossil hunting series starting Thursday at the Dudley Canal Basin, where residents can join guided walks led by members of the West Midlands Geological Society as part of an ongoing initiative to promote public engagement with natural history.

Morning events feature weekly baby massage sessions held on Tuesdays from 9:30am to 10:30am at St. Mary’s Parish Hall in Sedgley, offering new parents a quiet space to connect through structured support groups focused on early development. On Saturday, a seasonal produce market runs along the footpath adjacent to Dudley Castle Keep, open between noon and 4pm, with vendors from nearby villages selling handmade preserves, organic vegetables grown using traditional allotment methods, and locally crafted goods.

Music performances are scheduled throughout the week: The Grotto Club on Friday hosts regional bands playing Northern Soul standards. Saturday’s cultural events include a curated programme of performances at the former town hall annex hosted by Dudley Arts Collective. These gatherings continue to help strengthen community connections in areas affected by retail vacancy and inconsistent public transport, particularly during off-peak hours.
