Additions/changes to Open Gardens: >click here<

NEW! Winetasting Evening - for details >click here<

NEW!  Family Concert on Saturday 21st June.
We apologize for the misleading information in the programme, stating free entry.
Unfortunately, there was insufficient sponsorship to facilitate this so a small charge of £1.50 for children and £3 per adult will be made.

Did you go to St. Mary’s school sometime during the past 250 years? If so, you may be interested in their book >click here< for more information. This and more can be found at the Welwyn & District Local History Society table at the Street Market.

Listen to Hertfordshire’s local radio station - Hertbeat FM on 106.7 & 9
for information about the Welwyn Festival events.

Bring your dog along to the Family Fun Day at 4 pm and enter him/her into the Dog Show. There are various categories but this is for FUN and not to be taken seriously (definitely not approved by the Kennel Club!)
