About The City Brief Telford
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Telford
The City Brief helps people in and visiting Telford stay informed about local events each week. Whether you’re in Telford Central, exploring Ironbridge, or spending time in Town Park, there’s always something to do, and we’re here to help you find it. Telford has a calendar of events that showcase its character and history. From the annual Telford Balloon Fiesta and Carnival to the Ironbridge Gorge Brass Band Festival and Cosford Food Festival, there's a regular flow of activities throughout the year. Blists Hill Victorian Town and Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron offer frequent programming for those interested in the area’s industrial heritage. Family-focused events and seasonal activities keep the community engaged across neighbourhoods and green spaces. Our weekly coverage means you won’t miss local announcements, market days, festivals, exhibitions, or community gatherings. We track what’s on across commercial areas, tourist destinations, and parks, keeping you updated whether events are happening in town or in the surrounding areas. The City Brief exists to make it easier to discover and plan around Telford's local calendar. We understand that navigating what’s on can feel fragmented. Between council announcements, venue websites, and word-of-mouth, it's easy to miss something you’d have enjoyed. That's why we pull together the week's events in one place, written in plain language and organised so you can quickly see what suits you and your family. Telford is a place where people are actively building community life, through sport, culture, food, and shared celebration. By staying informed about local events, you’re more likely to discover new experiences, support local venues and organisations, and feel more connected to the people around you. The City Brief is your weekly guide to making the most of what Telford has to offer.
