About The City Brief Hatfield
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Hatfield
Hatfield blends history and community, from the royal connections of the Old Palace to the academic life at De Havilland Campus. The City Brief helps you stay informed about what's happening in Hatfield each week, whether it's a festival in the Town Centre, a family event at Campus West, or a performance at a university cultural space. We cover all aspects of local life. New Town's energy, Old Town's residential character, and green spaces like Great Park all host events worth knowing about. From the Eastern Electrics Festival to the Christmas Market at Hatfield House, from Friday Night Roller Disco to the Annual Pantomime, these events shape our calendar and bring people together. **What sets The City Brief apart is our focus on what's happening in your neighbourhood each week.** We report on recurring events that matter to families, students, commuters, and long-time residents. Planetarium talks, International Society Fairs, seasonal festivals at local farms, these aren't always easy to find scattered across websites and social media. We gather them in one place, curated for Hatfield. Our aim is simple: to be your reliable source for discovering local events. Whether you're looking for something to do this weekend, planning for a school holiday, or simply want to know what's happening in your area, The City Brief keeps you informed. We value local knowledge, understanding the rhythm of Hatfield's events, the important spaces, and the civic calendar that shapes our community. Hatfield offers history, education, leisure, and a genuine sense of community. Our goal is to make sure you don't miss out.
