Events in Solihull From 13th April – 19th April 2026

You can find a range of events in Solihull this week that suit different moods and interests, reflecting the town’s layered history from its Iron Age origins at Berry Mound to its current role within the West Midlands conurbation. This week’s schedule includes live music sessions at local bars near Solihull Railway Station, where acoustic sets and occasional jazz evenings draw in residents seeking moderate evening entertainment. At Touchwood Shopping Centre Car Park, a community-run film screening under the stars has been set up, part of efforts to activate public space amid concerns about green space loss due to the Sprint project. The town’s historic core hosts another event: an informal discussion at St Alphege Church Hall focused on local heritage and open to all who wish to contribute or listen.

A recurring theme is participation rather than passive consumption, whether in shared listening spaces during monthly poetry nights held at Elmdon Park Community Hub or the Solihull Moors FC fan gathering before a home match. These gatherings are often tied directly to public transport hubs, such as drop-off points along the Sprint Bus Rapid Transit Network and connections via Air-Rail Link into Birmingham International Rail Station.

Despite ongoing traffic congestion near New Road shopping areas and persistent parking shortages in central Solihull, these events continue across venues including former manor buildings repurposed for civic use. The tone remains understated: not a celebration of novelty but an acknowledgment that connection endures through deliberate moments, across shared sound, silence or conversation, all grounded in local life this week.
