Events in Coatbridge & Airdrie From 18th May – 24th May 2026

Looking for events in Coatbridge & Airdrie this week? You can find a range of opportunities to get out and about. This week’s calendar includes live music performances, with a focus on local talent from student ensembles to established folk groups. The recitals take place in university venues in Newcastle, not in Coatbridge & Airdrie. These events are hosted in dedicated rooms such as the Recital Room and Band Room at Newcastle University. The music ranges from traditional to contemporary styles, offering different tones for varied tastes.

Airdrie’s history as a coal-mining and ironworking hub in the 18th and 19th centuries shaped its industrial past. While the furnaces no longer burn, the area’s working-class roots still influence its arts scene. Commuters use the Airdrie Railway Station, M8 motorway, and A89 road to travel to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Some people attend a performance and then continue their journey to those cities.

Local listings include family activities, as the city supports families with children. Parks and interactive spaces are available. Parking at town centre facilities can be limited during events, so consider using public transport or allowing extra time. The best way to find what suits you is to review the event details below.
