Events in Stafford From 25th May – 31st May 2026

Home · Events in Stafford This Week

This week in Stafford, you can find a mix of events that reflect the town’s character. The foundation of Stafford in 913, established by Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, provides a historical backdrop for current activities. Music has long been part of the town’s identity, and this week offers live performances across different styles. You can find live music near the M6 motorway, with venues accessible by car or train. The Trent Valley Railway and Stafford railway station help visitors reach the area. The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Railway runs with seasonal access, offering a quiet route for those who prefer a slower pace. Shire Hall, a Grade II* listed building, remains underutilised but stands as a reminder of the town’s past. Consider checking event listings for times and locations. Stafford's nightlife has a moderate intensity, with bars and live music options available. If you're planning an evening out, account for the transport links including the M6 motorway and Stafford railway station.
