Welcome! From bumps to teens we have it covered.
This is your one-stop site for everything you need to know about living in Hitchin with children.
New exhibition coming to North Herts Museum in Hitchin.
Every dinosaur ever seen, on film, TV, in books or exhibitions, has, at least in part, been a work of the imagination. Since the first dinosaurs were identified, there has been a desire to put flesh on the bones and a glint in the eye of these amazing animals.
This exhibition looks at the long history of our relationship with dinosaurs, from ancient legends of mythical winged beasts in the deserts of central Asia, to the creatures brought to life in Jurassic Park.
Visitors can also learn about the animals that lived alongside the dinosaurs and are still here today, and discover the passion and dedication of the fossil hunters in this fun, family-friendly exhibition.
It’s that time of year again- local charity Feed Up Warm Up are asking for help bringing in Easter eggs to donate to our guests.
Whether it’s just one or a dozen- every egg makes a difference. Drop off at our drop-in centres at the drop-in times or contact us to arrange collection .
Did you know- since launching this project, we have received and donated around 2300 Easter eggs to those who wouldn’t normally have one )
Iris Court Care Home is proud to be supporting The Food Shed this Easter and we need your help.
We are collecting Easter eggs to donate to families in our local community.
Lets come together as a community to put a smile on children's faces and spread a little Easter joy to those less fortunate.
Pop in and leave your Easter egg donations with us - together we can help make Easter a little brighter for our local families.
Our last day of donations is Friday 27th March, these will then be delivered to The Food Shed Stevenage for distribution.

Last year I had a message from a lady whose daughter had moved to Hitchin with her 1 year old, asking for suggestions of where she could go to meet other parents.
