Events in Stockton-on-tees From 27th April – 3rd May 2026

What’s on in Stockton-on-Tees this week?

This week in Stockton-on-Tees features a series of performances that reflect longstanding cultural patterns rather than short-lived trends. At ARC - Stockton Arts Centre, comedian and musician Billy Liar performs his new show Song of the Suburbs, followed by a Q&A. The same venue hosts folk artist Steve Cradock with an evening of traditional Travellers Tunes later in the week. These events are part of a consistent programme rooted in local artistic practice.

Professional dancers from Strictly Come Dancing take the stage at Stockton Globe on two evenings this month, offering live performances that draw on their experience and training. The lineup also includes a tribute to Tina Turner at Billingham Forum Theatre, where music and storytelling intersect in a full evening of song.

All events are held within established venues using existing infrastructure: roads like A19 and A66 remain primary access routes. However, parking in central Stockton remains limited during event times due to ongoing roadworks along Riversider Road and delayed completion of Waterfront Park following the demolition of Castlegate Centre.
