COVID-19 forced the Heritage Foundation to close many of its arts and heritage venues and services which was devastating. This funding will be used to reopen the Garden City Collection and Museum at One Garden City, plus other activities and plans.

Alastair Stewart, our Head of Communities, Grants & Partnerships, updates us on how our grants programme is focusing on health and wellbeing support.

On Saturday 24 October, Museum at One Garden City will reopen, after closing its doors in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the first in a series of family art and crafts sessions.

Letchworth’s Broadway Cinema has announced that it will celebrate Black History Month with a season of films from black directors and artists from 2 - 28 October.

The brewery is co-owned by Holly-Anne Rolfe and husband Nick. “We love Letchworth because it’s got such a lovely community atmosphere. It’s a friendly, leafy and unique place to live and run a business,” said Holly.

We have jointly submitted a planning application with First Garden Cities Homes to create more affordable homes in Letchworth Garden City.

After four months of closure, Standalone Farm and Broadway Cinema will reopen in August, the Heritage Foundation has announced.

Our Heritage Advice Service (HAS) offers guidance and support to Letchworth homeowners who wish to make alterations to their homes. Claire Pudney, our HAS manager, explains how we manage and maintain the original principles of the garden city.

Every June we share an update with the community on our financial performance from the previous year, along with an overview of the impact of our work. Matthew Peak, our Finance Director, talks us through it.
