Home · Events in Bury This Week

You can find a range of events in Bury this week, with options for evenings out. If you're looking for what’s on in Bury this week, or simply want to know what to do in Bury this week, you’re in the right place. This week’s schedule focuses on evening entertainment, comedy shows, open mic nights, and intimate live music. Several performances are taking place at the Met, a venue known for its small, accessible setting. You’ll also find live acoustic sets at the Wellington, offering a relaxed atmosphere with local musical roots. Bury has long had a tradition of brass bands, and some of the performances this week reflect that heritage.

Beyond comedy and music, there’s a chance to try something different. Hands-on creative workshops are available, where you can learn a craft and make something of your own. These sessions take place at the Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre, combining making with appreciation of local art. This week brings a mix of quiet evenings and active learning, with chances to see the town's cultural side.

The Metrolink tram makes it easy to visit multiple spots in one night. You could have dinner near the tram line, then see a show at the Met, and finish with live music at a pub. Keep in mind that transport can be busy during peak times.

See the listings below for times and locations. Don’t forget to consider travel options, the Metrolink is a reliable way to move around, but parking in the town centre can be limited.
