About The City Brief Motherwell & Wishaw

Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Motherwell & Wishaw

The City Brief covers what’s happening across Motherwell and Wishaw each week, helping neighbours stay in the loop on local events without needing to search through multiple sources.

Regular football matches at Fir Park Stadium , home to Motherwell Football Club in the Scottish Premier League , offer a consistent way for residents from Dalzell Estate to Holytown to connect. The annual Motherwell and Wishaw Community Festival, held in summer, brings people together with music, food, and family activities across areas like Mossend, Hattonrigg, Netherton, Bishopbriggs, and Wishawhill.

The North Lanarkshire Heritage Centre Tower serves as both a local landmark and a hub for cultural events tied to the area’s history. Weekly updates include recurring sports days at Beltane Park, where junior football games are held regularly during term time through grassroots support.

Family-friendly events run throughout the year at locations such as M&D's Scotland’s Theme Park on Clydebank Road and Amazonia Zoo near Old Town, often linked to awareness campaigns like Orange the World. The annual UNiTE Campaign Support Event takes place at Motherwell Concert Hall each November, reflecting broader civic commitments.

Public transport is central to movement around town , particularly ScotRail Train Station (Motherwell) on the Caledonian Railway line and the West Coast Main Line linking to Glasgow. Knowing what’s local helps residents plan their week efficiently across areas including Mossend through Hattonrigg, Netherton, Bishopbriggs, and Wishawhill.

What's On In Motherwell remains a continuous feature in The City Brief’s coverage , detailing exhibitions at Callendar House or events hosted by the RSPB Baron’s Haugh Nature Reserve. These updates ensure that neighbours from all parts of this region know what is happening locally week after week.
