About The City Brief Stourbridge
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Stourbridge
The City Brief helps Stourbridge residents and workers stay informed about the events and activities shaping their town each week. Whether you're in the Jewellery Quarter, Kingswinford, Oldswinford, or any of the neighbourhoods across the borough, we cover the local happenings that matter to your community. Stourbridge has a rich calendar of events rooted in its Industrial heritage and thriving local culture. The town's weekly Stourbridge Market, one of England's oldest, draws regular visitors alongside the monthly Farmers' and Craft Market, where local artisans showcase their work. Beyond the markets, the town hosts a steady programme of festivals and demonstrations that celebrate its glassmaking legacy. The Red House Glass Cone remains a focal point for understanding that heritage, with regular glassblowing demonstrations offering insight into the traditional crafts that built this place. Our coverage tracks what's happening across Stourbridge throughout the year. From the annual Beer Festival and Carnival to the Festival of Glass, from live music concerts at Mary Stevens Park to smaller community gatherings and workshops, The City Brief ensures you know what's on locally. We focus on the weekly rhythm of the town, the regular markets, the seasonal events, and the cultural moments that bring neighbours together. We understand that Stourbridge is made up of distinct neighbourhoods and communities, each with its own character and needs. By covering local events consistently, we help you discover what's happening near you and across the wider town, whether that's in the heritage spaces of the glass quarter or the quieter neighbourhoods beyond the centre. Our approach is straightforward: we report on genuine local events, keep you updated weekly, and help you feel connected to what's happening in your town. The City Brief exists to make sure no one misses out on the events that matter to Stourbridge.
