Local Lowdown – April 2026

Script

Welcome back to your Local Lowdown.

The town is looking absolutely beautiful right now, with spring bulbs in full bloom — and adding a real splash of colour is the fantastic new mural. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s well worth a visit.

At The Playhouse, there’s musical theatre workshops for the Easter holidays and Little Women The Musical at the end of the month.

On the 10th, head over to the Walton Village for Comedy Republic. Doors open at 7pm.

As the season draws to a close, be sure to get down and support Walton & Hersham FC in their final matches.

There’s lots happening over Easter, so keep an eye on our What’s On page. Don’t miss our Easter trail running around town until the 10th of April, with the chance to win one of four £25 gift cards. You can pick up an activity booklet in local cafés, businesses and the library, packed with fun puzzles and challenges for little ones.

If live music is your thing, head to Bridge Street where The Bear and The George Inn have regular weekend performances.

Omni Academy are also hosting an apprenticeship evening and an open day, so be sure to register via their website if you’re interested.

On the blog, take a look at our latest Meet the Business feature on Walfinch Care.

And don’t forget — the Duckathon is just around the corner in May, so it will be time for businesses to get their corporate ducks ready, you can visit the duckathon website and buy your community duck, raising funds for the 1st Walton Viking Sea Scouts and the chance to win one of three cash prizes.

There’s plenty more coming up, so keep those dates in your diary. We’ll see you next time on the Local Lowdown.
