Culture Night Stirling 2026

From 6pm on Friday 1st May, Culture Night Stirling will unfold across the city and the surrounding areas, with events popping up all over – music, art, crafts, literature, dance, drama, comedy, digital media and more. It’s a night to celebrate who we are: creative, diverse, welcoming, and fiercely proud of our city’s culture.

It’s an open and FREE* invitation for everyone to explore, connect and experience culture across Stirling.

Thistles is delighted to be hosting activities within the centre and our Bastion Jail including a silent disco and workshops between 6pm and 8pm. What's more, some of our stores will also be staying open later!
