About The City Brief Hatfield

Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Hatfield

You can find what’s happening in Hatfield each week through The City Brief. Events unfold across the town, from cultural happenings in New Town and seasonal gatherings at Great Park to open days at Hatfield House Grounds. This summer, the Eastern Electrics Festival returns to Ellenbrook Fields, turning the open grassland into a hub for underground house and techno music. During term time, Friday Night 18+ Roller Disco takes place at Campus West, drawing adults from nearby areas including Galleria Outlet Mall and Verulamium Museum and Park. In late autumn, Planetarium Tours and Talks offer stargazing opportunities on weekday evenings with free access. The Christmas Market returns to Hatfield House grounds, bringing vendors from Old Palace and Radlett to sell crafts near Great Park House. St Audrey’s Feast Day Fair includes processions along paths past The Eight Bells Public House into New Town. These events form part of a consistent rhythm that also includes university exhibitions in town centre venues and open days at Hatfield Business Park during employment fairs. Local activity like Reptiles on the Farm runs seasonally, while seasonal markets near Sir Geoffrey de Havilland Statue offer family-friendly fun. The City Brief covers real life here , rooted in place, people, and shared routines. Whether it’s open days at Hatfield Business Park or festivals in Ellenbrook Fields, we keep neighbours informed across Old Palace, New Town, and beyond, so you can take part in what’s happening right here.
