Events in Scunthorpe From 11th May – 17th May 2026

You can find a range of events in Scunthorpe this week, covering professional development, live music, and active pursuits. Workshops focus on handling difficult conversations and evidence-based decision making, held at Normanby Gateway. For evening entertainment, check out the tribute act performing Fleetwood Mac songs at Baths Hall, or a private seance with charcuterie at Cafe Natura. There’s also a speedway match at Eddie Wright Raceway on Saturday.

Scunthorpe grew from five villages due to ironstone mining starting in 1859, with steel production beginning in 1864. The Appleby Frodingham Railway Society helps preserve that history. The town’s industrial roots remain visible in sites like the Baths Hall, which is being redeveloped after historical contamination. The venue is accessible by train from Scunthorpe railway station, served by TransPennine Express and Northern Railways. For those driving, the M180 motorway leads into town, though traffic on the A1077 bypass is heavy.

The town balances its industrial past with green spaces and cultural events. A short drive away from the city centre is the Eddie Wright Raceway, a key venue for speedway matches. Just outside the city, you’ll also find Cafe Natura, located in the Bottesford Beck Visitors Centre, a spot for intimate events.
