Events in Beeston From 4th May – 10th May 2026

Home · Events in Beeston This Week

You can find a good range of events in Beeston this week, with options for social gatherings, live music, and family-friendly activities. Some events take place in the afternoon at the Beeston Social, where drinks and conversation happen every other Monday. Later in the week, you can check out live performances at Billy Bootleggers, a venue known for hosting indie and post-punk acts. The Allday Indie Outdoor Festival takes place at Binks Yard, bringing together tribute bands and open jam sessions across a full day. While some events are held near the town’s historic sites, including the rear of the Beeston Smithy, now largely forgotten, most are accessible via the NET tram system. The Beeston railway station is a convenient arrival point, though passengers on the Nottingham to Skegness route should be aware of potential overcrowding. Weather is variable, with frequent rain, and petty crime has been reported in crowded areas, especially near transport hubs. A short drive away, the Electric Daisy in Derby hosts acts like Spangled, and The Flowerpot in Derby features tribute bands. For live music in Beeston, focus on Billy Bootleggers and the Beeston Social. Just outside the city, Binks Yard hosts full-day festivals. Check the listings below for times and locations.
