Events in East Kilbride From 20th April – 26th April 2026

This week’s events in East Kilbride follow a steady pattern shaped by local infrastructure and community needs. Weekly children’s sessions run at Westfield Library and Ross Place Community Centre, offering storytime and simple craft activities using recycled materials, led by volunteers from the East Kilbride Youth Forum. These take place on weekday afternoons between 3pm and 5pm without requiring registration.

Music events are held at fixed locations: tribute acts play weekly at The Square in Centre West every Friday evening, while independent artists perform twice a week during lunch hours in the café area of Hairmyres Train Station. Late-night techno sets, hosted by student collectives from Glasgow Caledonian University’s Dundee branch, are limited to Saturday nights and occur near Queensway Bridge, access requires digital ticketing due to site security.

Jazz evenings have resumed after winter; they’re held on Wednesdays at East Kilbride Theatre in Centre West. Seating remains restricted following structural assessments earlier this year. Promotions use physical posters along Kingsway and A727, with updated opening times now reflected.

One-off performance art installations take place along Queensway from 8pm to 9:30pm on Wednesday, April 24, created in collaboration with the Scottish National Theatre’s regional outreach team. These are free but require advance digital registration due to space limits.

All events listed below include details about accessibility, nearby parking (including blue-badge bays), and updated transport options via Hairmyres Station during peak hours.
