Families in Welwyn Garden City can enjoy a variety of activities during the final days of the school holidays, including food markets and sports sessions, though organizers have confirmed a change to the planned schedule.
The Wonderful Welwyn Garden City business group has organized a range of events to support the town centre during the Easter break. While many activities continue, the mobile petting zoo that was planned for Thursday 9 April at The Howard Centre has been cancelled.
Residents can still participate in several other events throughout the week. Stonehills Square will host the Street Food Heroes market on Thursday 9 April from 4pm until 9pm, offering a selection of food and music. Additionally, children can take part in free arts and crafts sessions at The Craft Room in The Howard Centre, which are available daily from 10am to 2pm until Friday 10 April.
For those interested in sports, the Super Skills Soccer programme is scheduled to visit The Howard Centre on Saturday 11 April. Running from 10am to 4pm, the session focuses on footwork and skills training. Furthermore, Campus West continues to host a daily roller skate disco featuring music and lights for all ages throughout the holiday period.
These events are part of an ongoing effort by the business group to increase foot traffic in the town centre. In 2025, over 50,000 people attended similar events funded by local businesses.
