Unmissable Events in the Sneak Peek! 👀 The 2026 Programme at Silsden Town Hall

There's nothing quite like having things to look forward to, is there? Getting the calendar out and filling those empty squares with plans for a good night out. Well, it’s time to grab your pen because Silsden Town Hall has just given everyone a sneak peek at its incredible 2026 programme, and it’s fair to say people are already getting excited. The announcement, which came on 25 February 2026, has revealed a fantastic mix of comedy, music, and unmissable shows. It’s a year packed with brilliant events, so it might be time to start some serious planning and pick your favourites from the amazing lineup of shows.

A sneak peek at the 2026 programme

So, what’s actually on the cards for this year? The team at Silsden Town Hall has pulled together a programme designed to have something for everyone. Kicking things off with a dose of comedy, there will be a special appearance from Joe Thomas. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s best known as Simon from the classic British sitcom The Inbetweeners. It’s a great chance to see a well-known face right on your doorstep.

But the variety in the 2026 programme doesn't stop there. For music lovers, there's a real treat in store with some outstanding tributes. Fans of classic rock can get ready for a night celebrating the one and only Freddie Mercury, while those who prefer something a bit more mellow will be thrilled with the tributes to the legendary duo, The Carpenters. And that's not all for music. The brilliant blues-rock guitarist Chantel McGregor is set to make a much-anticipated return, bringing her incredible talent back to the Silsden stage. It’s a lineup that already has people talking, and this is just the first glimpse of the year's full programme of events.

Get your diary out and get planning

With so many great shows announced, the best thing to do is grab your diary and start some proper planning. Figuring out which events you simply can't miss is half the fun. Whether it’s a night of laughs or a singalong to your favourite band’s tunes, marking it down makes it real. The tickets for these brilliant events at Silsden Town Hall will be released throughout the year, so you won’t be able to book everything at once. This is actually a good thing, as it gives you time to pick your absolute favourites. To make sure you don’t miss out when tickets for a particular show go on sale, signing up for the venue’s newsletter is a smart move. The newsletter will give you a heads-up, ensuring you’re one of the first to know. This way, you can be sure you get a spot at the shows that are top of your list for the 2026 programme. It’s all about being prepared for a fantastic year of entertainment.
