The 2026 Charity presentation evening was held last night. This year you helped us raise the fantastic amount of over £17,000, which includes an amazingly generous £7685 donation from the Welwyn 10K 🎉

We donated to 13 local charities and heard from them all last night. More info of each of them will be up on our website over the next few days. We couldn’t do it without you and our amazing committee and volunteers. If you’d like to get involved next year, go to www.welwynfestival.org.uk for info on how to join us and help us with next year’s Festival 😊

🌟 A MASSIVE THANK YOU FROM WELWYN FESTIVAL 🌟

We are still absolutely buzzing from an incredible week of celebrations! Marking our 50th Anniversary was a monumental milestone, and it truly would not have been the spectacular success that it was without the unbelievable support of our community.

We want to send the biggest, most heartfelt THANK YOU to absolutely everyone who played a part in making this year so special:
• Our Generous Sponsors: For your unwavering support and for making this golden anniversary possible.
• The Incredible Volunteers: For working tirelessly behind the scenes—we couldn't do it without you!
• Raffle Supporters: To the local businesses and individuals who donated fantastic prizes, and to every single person who bought a ticket.
• Event Hosts & Participants: To those who held bustling jumble sales, opened their beautiful gardens to the public, and brought the energy to our vibrant street parade.
• Our Fantastic Stallholders: For keeping everyone fed, watered, and entertained at the Street Market and the Family Fun Day.
• The Oscars Crowd: To everyone who dressed to impress and made the Oscars night so glamorous.
• The Sun Seekers: A special shoutout to absolutely everyone who braved the hot weather to come out and celebrate with us.

Whether you attended a single event, helped organise, or just cheered us on from the sidelines—THANK YOU! You brought the magic, the smiles, and the true community spirit that has kept the Welwyn Festival going strong for half a century.

Here is to our amazing community, and here is to the next 50 years! 🥂💛

P.S. We are already looking ahead and would love to have more helping hands on board! If you enjoyed the festival and want to get involved, we are looking for more volunteers. Please email us at [email protected]

Here is a reminder of what is on today - Pimms and plants at 7 Dicket Mead, A Walking Tour (yay, it's not raining!) and a free concert at St Mary's Church. Whilst we're at it, here's What's On Saturday!😍

🚨 Friendly (But Firm!) Road Closure Reminder

We know those massive, bright yellow and black warning signs have been up for a couple of weeks, but just in case they've magically blended into the scenery... consider this your official, unmissable heads-up. 🛑👀

As you can see in the attached graphic, we are temporarily pausing traffic for the 50th Anniversary Welwyn Festival Street Parade! 🎉

You’ll see our amazing volunteers absolutely everywhere, rocking their signature purple tops to safely enforce the road closures. We know having your route blocked can be a bit of a pain, but please remember they are generously volunteering their time to make this fabulous community event happen.

Be sweet, not salty! Please treat our purple-clad heroes with kindness and a smile. 💜

Thank you for your patience, Welwyn! We can't wait to see you out there enjoying the parade and the Family Fun Day! 🎺🎈

Tomorrow's Events!

6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (Open Garden): Standing in a beautiful garden at 7 Dicked Mead while basking in the evening sun? Perfection. Just remember to admire the flowers, not melt into them.

7:30 PM (The Walking Tour): Sandra’s phone is officially safe. No one needs to call her about the rain. However, George and Sandra might need to lead this "Discover Welwyn Village Walking Tour" at a brisk pace from one patch of shade to the next.

7:30 PM (Classical Ukrainian Folk Music): If 30-degree heat isn't your vibe, St Mary’s Church is going to be the ultimate sanctuary. Free culture and thick, cool stone walls? It’s a win-win.

Are you team "soak up the sun on the walking tour" or team "cool church sanctuary and folk music"?
