Events in East Kilbride From 25th May – 31st May 2026

This week in East Kilbride, you can find a mix of events to suit your time. For a night out, performances at the local theatre are scheduled regularly, and several places along Kingsway and Queensway host evenings with music and conversation. If you're after something different, look into creative workshops, often held at community spaces, or author talks at the library. With activities ranging from music to live discussions, there’s something to match your mood. Use the A727 and A749 roads for travel, but watch for the many roundabouts.

East Kilbride, established as Scotland’s first new town in 1947, has a history tied to Neolithic and Bronze Age finds, including burial cairns. Today, the town supports local creativity and gives space for events across its planned residential zones. The planned redevelopment of Centre West is paused, but the town centre continues to adapt.

Check the listings below for times and venues. The Hairmyres Train Station connects by rail, and the Glasgow Southern Orbital provides road access. Be aware that construction activity may cause local disruption. You might also find family-friendly events in parks or playgrounds. Recent reports note litter and dog waste on pavements, so please keep the town centre clean.
