Running from Saturday 13th April to Saturday 20th April, HArts Fest will promote art and cultural events, activities and exhibitions within Hertford and the local area.

New for 2024 is the introduction of a standalone HArts Fest event on the main lawn of the beautiful Hertford Castle grounds, which will take place on Saturday 13th April, 12-4pm.

This one-day FREE* family event will celebrate art and culture. In partnership with local businesses and groups, visitors will be able to enjoy a series of art and craft stalls, arts and culture based activities. A live programme of entertainment including music, dance and theatre will also be running throughout the day.

The Castle will also be open for visitors to explore free of charge.

Chair of Hertford Town Council’s Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Ann Woodward, said: 

“HArts Fest 2024 is set to be a fantastic celebration of art and culture in Hertford. We are lucky to have a wide range of organisations and businesses delivering cultural activities in the town, and Hertford Town Council will be working in partnership with them to ensure the HArts Fest delivers a programme that can be enjoyed by people of all ages this spring.”
