Families in Welwyn Garden City have the opportunity to explore the town’s history and green spaces through a series of free interactive activities running from 3 April to 10 April 2026. The event coincides with the local school spring holiday and is listed on the official One Welwyn Hatfield events calendar maintained by the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council.
Designed to engage children and parents with the unique character of the area, the event highlights the town’s origins as one of Britain’s original garden cities. Founded in the 1920s by Sir Ebenezer Howard and designed by architect Louis de Soissons, Welwyn Garden City was planned to balance urban living with extensive integrated green spaces.
The week-long programme encourages residents to visit local landmarks that define the town’s heritage and environment. Notable sites include the 126-acre Stanborough Park, the 18th-century Mill Green Museum and Working Mill, and the historic Welwyn Roman Baths.
Support for community engagement is provided by organisations such as the Welwyn Hatfield Community and Voluntary Services, which helps develop local groups and activities. Additional family entertainment is available during the holiday period at Campus West, a council-owned venue near the town centre that offers cinema, roller skating, and play facilities.
