Events in Hatfield From 6th April – 12th April 2026

Events in Hatfield this week

You can find a range of community-led events across Hatfield this week, reflecting local engagement with music, performance, education, and recreation. Acoustic evenings featuring emerging musicians from the University of Hertfordshire's performing arts department take place in the Great Hall at The Old Palace on Wednesday and Friday nights. These sets spotlight contemporary folk and indie genres. A full-band rock performance is scheduled for Saturday evening at Hatfield Town Hall, which once served as a cinema during its 1940s phase and now hosts live music.

Stand-up comedy returns on Monday and Thursday nights at the bar on Station Road, featuring acts from Hertfordshire’s local circuit who have performed at university showcases or regional festivals. Families can join free creative workshops held in Lee Valley Park during school holidays. These sessions for children aged 6 to 14 are accessible via footpaths along the River Lea and draw themes from local history, including aviation heritage and Roman-era archaeology.

Themed cultural days include a Saturday event at Great Park House that recreates Jacobean social gatherings through costumed interactions and period music. The activities take place in outdoor spaces adjacent to preserved architecture, maintaining public access without disrupting nearby residential zones.

Spoken word sessions hosted by local literary groups occur after 7pm at community hubs such as the Hatfield Civic Centre on Friday evenings. All events listed below are open and free of charge.
