Events in Motherwell & Wishaw From 27th April – 3rd May 2026

Events in Motherwell & Wishaw this week

This week's events across Motherwell and Wishaw highlight regular community gatherings, local music nights, and accessible outdoor activities. Every Tuesday evening, acoustic sets take place at The Old Station Inn on High Street, no need to book ahead, just show up around 7pm. On Saturdays, the Wishaw Community Hall hosts its monthly adult mixer with themed evenings and open discussions; entry is free and no booking required.

For fitness, weekday sessions run at Motherwell Leisure Centre from mid-morning until early evening. Free yoga classes are on Wednesdays at 9:15am. On Friday mornings, guided walking groups meet just outside the train station entrance to West Coast Main Line services.

Live music is available locally. The Mainspace venue, located near ScotRail’s Motherwell Station platform two, hosts a monthly stand-up night curated by local talent. Tickets are £8 or free for under-22s and OAP cardholders, priority booking applies during peak commuter times due to high demand.

Playground sessions run weekly in central green spaces across both towns; South Lanarkshire Council maintains these areas open daily with no entry fees. All events listed are accessible via public transport using ScotRail trains from Glasgow Queen Street or local buses along the M74 corridor.

You can find everything you need without leaving your immediate area, these activities build on long-standing patterns of civic involvement that date back to 1983, when electoral boundaries were first adjusted. The consistency in programming shows a network of social connection grounded in tradition rather than short-term trends.
