Telford & Wrekin Council is looking ahead to another exciting year of events, with many of the Borough's most popular attractions set to return in 2027 following the success of this year's programme.

Thousands of residents and visitors have attended events across Telford and Wrekin during 2026, enjoying a diverse programme celebrating culture, heritage, health and wellbeing, community spirit and family entertainment. The programme has included Spring into St George's Day, Embers Fire Festival, Telford Walk Week, Armed Forces Family Fun Day, Telford Krazy Races, Telford Town Park Amphitheatre and the spectacular Telford Balloon Fiesta.

Following the strong response from residents and visitors, the Council can confirm that a full programme of events will return in 2027, with planning already underway to deliver another packed programme of activities across the Borough.

The summer events programme continues to play an important role in bringing communities together, encouraging people to be active, celebrating local culture and heritage, and supporting the local visitor economy by attracting people into Telford and Wrekin's town centres, parks and visitor destinations. The 2026 spring and summer programme attracted more than 60,000 visitors across nine events in five months, demonstrating the significant impact events have on the Borough.

While plans for 2027 are gathering pace, there is still plenty to look forward to before the end of this year. Residents can enjoy Telford Day taking place in the Ironbridge Gorge in November, a celebration of community pride bringing people together in the heart of the Borough, before the festive season gets underway with a range of Christmas activities and attractions.

The Christmas programme includes Festive Gardens in Telford Town Park and Jack and the Beanstalk, which will be presented at Telford International Centre as part of the Telford Theatre on Tour programme while refurbishment works continue at Telford Theatre.

Further details about the 2027 programme will be announced in the coming months. Information about upcoming events, including Telford Day and Christmas in Telford, will be published on the Visit Telford website, visittelford.co.uk
