Blyth Celebrates 2026/2027

August 2026 - March 2027 | Various locations around Blyth 

From immersive theatre and family adventures to heritage, comedy and festive celebrations, Blyth Celebrates is back with a brand new programme of events running from August 2026 to March 2027.

Last year, more than 90,000 people joined us to experience Blyth Celebrates, helping transform the town centre into a place where creativity, community and culture come together. This year we're building on that success with another exciting programme of free and affordable experiences for all ages.
