Events in Bracknell From 20th April – 26th April 2026
Home · Events in Bracknell This Week
You can find live music, family-friendly sessions, and creative gatherings across Bracknell this week, shaped by its Saxon-era roots as Old and New Bracknell, which merged after being designated a New Town in 1949. This planned expansion continues today through venues like The Lexicon, opened in 2017, now hosting regular events across music, visual arts, and informal workshops.
Events this week include free messy play sessions at centres such as the Hithercroft Hub or Castlefield Family Hub; these support young children and caregivers. Paint-and-sip evenings are set at The Cricketers, drawing participants from nearby areas like Winkfield Row. Evening music performances take place in indoor spaces like MUSICA Bracknell and open-air locations near Bracknell Square.
A women-only woodland walk is scheduled for Saturday 20 April at The Golden Retriever, organised via local wellbeing groups. Instrument demos are planned as part of an annual Open Day hosted by the Bracknell Music Centre in partnership with Surrey County Council’s cultural team.
The town centre remains accessible through Bracknell Station, served by direct rail links to London Waterloo, and bus routes including those terminating at Peel Centre, though parking shortages during peak hours and congestion on A329(M) remain challenges.
