We have proudly sponsored the annual Hitchin Festival with a donation of £900. The money will go towards supporting two events during the festival; ‘Hitchin Creative Day’ and the ‘Art Trail’.
The sought-after annual event kicked off this year with the launch of the Art Trail on Saturday 29th June. Artists from across Hitchin and beyond have been busy installing their diverse artworks across their local town centres, showcasing a wide range of styles. Highlighting artistic talent across the community, residents and visitors alike are able to explore the local businesses hosting these artworks across the month of July.
The festivities continued with the Hitchin Creative Day at the Market Square, starting with a celebratory event featuring music, activities and stalls from local makers and creative organisations. The month-long event is a fantastic way for the local community to come together and for local artists and independently run businesses to showcase their work.
Jason Turner, Sales Manager at Taylor Wimpey North Thames said: "We are delighted to have sponsored Hitchin Festival this year. Events like these play a vital role in bringing people together and we are pleased to be able to support such an iconic event so close to our Weston Gate development. The community seemed to have a fantastic time at the Art Trail and Hitchin Creative Day last weekend."
Glyn Dogget, Director at Hitchin Creative said: "Taylor Wimpey's generous donation has significantly boosted our ability to host a vibrant and inclusive festival this year. The Hitchin Festival has been a staple in our community for 33 years, and support from local businesses like Taylor Wimpey ensures we can continue to showcase the incredible creativity within our town.”
