Music events

Broxtowe is home to a plethora of talented musicians, and we host many events to showcase just that.

Friday18

Our Friday18 series is an idea formed through an international partnership with the German Town of Gütersloh, bringing an hour of free live music to town centres weekly at 6:00pm. So far we have taken the series to Beeston Square, and venues across Kimberley and Stapleford.

Find out more on our Friday18 event page.

D.H. Lawrence Music Festival

The D.H. Lawrence Music Festival takes place in early September during the annual D.H. Lawrence Festival, with over 160 artists across some of Eastwood's best pubs and venues. 

For the past two years, the festival has been kicked off by the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum who host a stage in the museum garden.
