MGT What's On October Half Term

Community

The Knife Angel in Welwyn

Welwyn Garden City is currently host to the amazing, Knife Angel.  A national monument designed and created by Alfie Bradley, it is crafted from more than 100,000 knives and blades confiscated by the police across the country.  Some knives have been signed by victim's families.  The aim of the amazing sculpture is 'to raise awareness about the consequences of knife crime and violence and to spark conversations about the need for social change and peace', and it is 'an opportunity to remember all those who have fallen victim to knife crime and violence'.  It is a spectacular piece of art and very thought-provoking.  

The Knife Angel can be seen outside The Howard Centre for the rest of October (concluding on 30th October).  It is well worth a visit and would make a great talking point during half-term!

More information about the sculpture and events running throughout the month can be found here

To mark the occasion, the Police & Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire is running an art competition for young people under 25.

Anita's Cake Bakery - Cupcake Decorating

"Anita created the most fabulous party for my daughter's 8th birthday. She came up with beautiful designs and all the children had a ball recreating them with her help. She was calm, patient and absolutely lovely with them, even though the noise levels were high! Thank you Anita. "

Jack Stow Chiropractor

"Jack has a wonderful caring manner which is really reassuring when in pain. I have been visiting him for a number of years if a problem arises and he has even treated my children. I wouldn't trust anyone else with their care. "
