The Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council is launching a series of free music workshops for young people in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, during the upcoming February half-term break. These sessions are designed to give local youth a creative outlet and offer parents a free option for skills development during the school holidays.

The workshops will be held at The Howard Centre on February 16, February 17, and February 20, 2026. Each session runs from 5pm to 7pm, and young residents can simply turn up as no prior booking or registration is required to attend.

Participants will have the chance to learn various musical skills, including beat-making, lyric writing, and recording techniques. The council is using the town’s central shopping hub to host these activities, making them easily accessible for families in the heart of the community.

This initiative follows local recommendations for more free activities to support young people and help prevent anti-social behaviour in the town centre. By providing constructive things to do during the early evening hours, the council hopes to create a positive environment for all residents.

Groups like Services for Young People frequently work within the borough to provide similar engagement opportunities. These new music sessions represent a continued effort to invest in local youth and bring more activity to public spaces in the town.
