Events in Motherwell & Wishaw From 4th May – 10th May 2026

You can find a range of events in Motherwell & Wishaw this week, with selections focused on performances from local students and musicians. Recitals begin on 5 May at Newcastle University's Band Room and King's Hall, where final-year music students present their work in formal settings. These performances take place in educational venues and contribute to a steady cultural presence in the area. Live music is available throughout the week, from intimate gigs to larger electronic dance events, with performances at Glasgow venues such as SWG3 and The Classic Grand. Check out the music scene whether you're looking for a high-energy club night or a more relaxed evening. Family-friendly events are available, including a junior showcase at Elim Church on 9 May, hosted in a community space. Other activities include spiritual events and workshops, though specific venues for these are not listed. Consider using ScotRail to travel between venues, Motherwell and Wishaw both have stations on the Caledonian Railway line. Events take place in various locations, including university buildings and community halls. The M74 and M8 motorways provide access to larger venues outside the immediate area. A short drive away, you can find events at Glasgow venues with limited public transport access, particularly in rural parts of the Monklands. On 7 May, a mediumship event takes place at Wishaw, exploring psychic connection. Local pubs and bars are available for a relaxed evening, though some historically lack women’s toilets.
