Events in Livingston From 20th April – 26th April 2026

What's on in Livingston this week?

This week across Livingston, events highlight both long-standing community traditions and newer cultural expressions. The town’s history, rooted in mining and shaped by its new town status since 1960, is reflected in performances that blend working-class influences with modern styles. Live music at Almondvale Stadium features local bands mixing folk roots with electronic sounds, drawing crowds on Fridays when motorway access to Edinburgh eases after peak congestion.

Daytime disco events take place at the Livingston Designer Outlet over the final weekend of April, open-air and designed for older attendees, these events cater to a demographic that values relaxed socialising. Breathwork sessions are held mid-week at a community centre near Bathgate railway station, offering guided movement during quieter hours. These sessions require no parking and align with efforts to reduce car dependency despite existing infrastructure limitations.

Evenings bring comedy shows at a converted warehouse in the eastern part of town, drawing local talent and touring acts. Classical concerts are held under low-light conditions at an open-air pavilion next to one of Livingston’s main shopping centres, with acoustics managed through careful layout. These events often begin after informal gatherings that focus on connection.

A series of workshops tied to the Diamond Jubilee celebrate six decades of planned urban growth. Activities include archival photography displays and oral history recordings from residents who arrived before 1980, available weekdays at a civic hall with bus access near Almondvale.
