Events in Hartlepool From 4th May – 10th May 2026

Looking for events in Hartlepool this week? You can find a mix of evenings out with music, comedy, and themed nights. The line-up includes quiz nights, DJ sets, and live performances, mostly held at venues along the Marina, accessible from Hartlepool railway station via the A689 road. The town’s pubs and clubs along this stretch offer the main concentration of nightlife. Some events reflect Hartlepool’s maritime past, with potential for sea shanty acts or history talks. The Stockton and Hartlepool Railway links the town to wider Tees Valley events. Be mindful of parking congestion, especially during events like the Tall Ships Races. The A179 road offers access to entertainment further afield, but local venues deliver the most concentrated experience. Check the listings below for times and locations. A short drive away, some events are held just outside the city, including at the Coatham Memorial Hall in Redcar, which hosts classic rock performances. The Middlesbrough Town Hall venue also features music events, including the House Masters series in the historic courtyard. For stand-up comedy, Ania Magliano performs at the Durham Gala Theatre, a day trip from Hartlepool. The Empire venue hosts the House Masters official after party, continuing music into the early hours. You can find these events in the listings below, with details on timing and venue.
