Events in Smethwick From 23rd March – 29th March 2026

You can find interactive storytelling sessions at Galton Bridge Library every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Children aged five to twelve use replicas of 19th-century glass-making tools and railway fittings as props, drawing from the town’s industrial past.

On Saturday evenings, join the open-mic night at Smethwick Community Centre starting at 6:15 PM. Performers share original spoken word pieces inspired by post-war migration narratives. Entry is free but advance booking through Sandwell Valley Information Point, just outside the city, is required due to limited space.

Families can take guided walks along the Oldbury Canal path on Sundays from 10:30 AM. The route begins at Smethwick Galton Bridge station and follows a fixed loop past restored sections of canal infrastructure once used for transporting glass to Birmingham.

Evening events are held in accessible venues like the Old Church hall or The Hawthorns railway station’s community space, ensuring everyone can attend without transport barriers. All times include step-free access routes where applicable, with wheelchair-friendly entrances and drop-off zones near major public transit hubs such as Midland Metro (Jewellery Line) stops.
