A support and activity session for parents of children with hearing or visual needs at Beever Family Hub.
Home · Events in Eccles This Week
You can find live music performances across Eccles this week from 23 March to 29 March 2026. The Lowry hosts comedy and music acts, including Harry Enfield and Jen Brister, with shows running late into the night. A string quartet plays modern hits at an unnamed venue, while local comedians like Adam Anwar appear at Bar Three Hindley. Music fans can catch performances by Bi-2 at Manchester Academy or Sounds Mint at The Lodge, though these are not in Eccles. In town, drop-in sessions for families with children who have hearing or visual needs take place at Beever Family Hub, these offer sensory-friendly activities during weekday afternoons.
Comedy events include a weekly show hosted by Adam Anwar on Monday nights at Bar Three Hindley and stand-up by Monty Wilson every Thursday at Creatures Comedy Club. These acts vary in theme from Northern dialect satire to personal storytelling. The Eccles Interchange provides Metrolink access every 10 minutes during peak times, though parking near the shopping centre is limited.
Eventgoers should use public transport where possible, especially given that demand for tickets to BBC Philharmonic and 6 Music Festival performances remains high. Check listings below for precise schedules, venue details, and travel notes.
