Events in Carlton From 23rd March – 29th March 2026

You can find live music performances, community gatherings, and informal social events across Carlton this week, from Monday 23 March to Sunday 29 March 2026. These take place at small venues on Great North Road or near the junction of Carlisle Street and Park Lane, featuring acoustic sets by emerging artists and original tunes played by resident bands. The atmosphere is low-key: warm lighting from vintage fixtures inside bars that double as gathering spaces; seating arranged for conversation after music has ended. These evenings are not scheduled concerts but moments shaped by presence, people arriving late or staying past closing time because they’ve found something meaningful in the sound, shared silence, or quiet exchange over a drink. Some events happen at pubs located along Carlton Hill near Nottingham Railway Station access points; one such venue features regular mid-week acoustic slots with no cover charge and limited seating. The absence of formal booking means attendance is open to all, no early arrival needed, only willingness to be present. Occasionally, community-led music circles meet at a space near Carlisle Street that welcome residents from adjacent neighbourhoods like Carlton Park and Highfields North during quiet hours after 7pm. The focus remains on shared experience over performance, listening as an act of connection rather than entertainment.
