Events in Newcastle-under-lyme From 11th May – 17th May 2026

Home · Events in Newcastle-under-Lyme This Week

This week in Newcastle-under-Lyme, activities range from fitness to evening events. You can find Pilates classes at Lunar Community, supporting local wellbeing. Look for sessions focused on strength and flexibility, with options tailored to beginners and postnatal women. For those interested in local commerce, the Castle Artisan Market at Pedddle offers crafts and wares from independent makers. The town’s history as a market centre continues through regular events like the Car Boot Sale at Apedale Valley Light Railway. Though the town lacks a railway station, the A34 and A500 provide access to nearby areas, and bus routes connect key locations. Be mindful of congestion on the inner ring road when planning travel. Check listings below for times and venues, and plan your week accordingly.
