Event details

Hitchin Festival was established in July 1991 as a one week programme of events. Since then it has grown into a month long celebration of the culture and entertainment on offer in Hitchin.

Each July (and since 2023 each November/December) the festival programme promotes a huge variety of events including poetry, art exhibitions, concerts, theatre, talks, walks, comedy and kids entertainment.

From 2024 the Hitchin Festival will be run by Community Interest Company, Hitchin Creative.
