Events in Keighley From 11th May – 17th May 2026

Home · Events in Keighley This Week

This week in Keighley, you can find a mix of events across arts, music, and fitness. A poetry workshop with Kim Moore takes place at Keighley Library, followed by a conversation on her collection 'The House of Broken Things.' For history, the 1940s Weekend at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway offers an immersive experience with wartime themes. Live music includes a DJ set by Juan MacLean at the Golden Lion in Todmorden and a tribute to AC/DC at Skipton Sound Bar. At Keighley RUFC, comedy night brings laughter to the evening. Check out the Golden Lion for FAITH’s DJ sets or Clementyne’s live music at Keighley Healthy Living. The fitness scene includes a strength-focused class at Cobbydale Forge Gym and a yoga flow session on Thursday. For families, the railway event and library workshops offer hands-on engagement. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal offers a walkable route through green space, avoiding congestion on Hard Ings Road. Keep in mind that parking in the town centre is limited, especially during events. You can access the town's rail network via Keighley Railway Station, which supports daily commutes. The town's industrial past informs community events, and local spaces like the library and leisure centres offer structured activities. Don’t miss the chance to see how Keighley’s heritage and modern life come together. See listings below for times and locations, and plan your visit around the town’s transport links and available parking.
