arts & culture in harpenden

Following a survey conducted last Summer to help identify the rich tapestry of local groups, October saw the launch of the new Harpenden Arts & Culture Forum. This Forum is currently formed of over 20 groups that are based within Harpenden and are involved within the arts or culture sector, whether as a business or as a recreational activity group.

Forum members provided valuable feedback on how the Town Council can support and help develop the sector in the Town and have agreed the key areas that the group will focus upon and we look forward to sharing further information about each of these soon.

Communication - Utilising the Town Council’s Communication Channels to actively promote the Forum members, including the creation of a Directory page on our website

Young People’s Art & Culture – Establishing a greater link with local education settings

Venues for Hire – To scope local venues and champion Community Rates for Forum members

Our Forum members represent the spectrum of arts and culture in Harpenden - find out more here.

Interested in joining us?

If you represent a group or business operating within Harpenden that is within this sector and would like to join the discussion, please contact Faye via email at Faye.Sarron@harpenden.gov.uk, we look forward to hearing from you. Our next meeting will take place on Wednesday 25th June at 10am.
