SATURDAY

Sunset Starlight Walk

A walk to remember

Join us on Saturday, September 9 as we light up the night in this year's Sunset Starlight Walk. 

Our hugely popular 6.5 mile walk around the streets, countryside and villages of Letchworth is a great chance to get together with friends and family, recall memories of loved ones and support the Hospice.

This event has a real sense of togetherness amongst walkers as early as congregating in the registration area - which only continues as the sun goes down and we light up the night. Fancy dress and glow sticks are encouraged, and there will be 'light' and 'sound' surprises along the way. Dogs are also welcome to join in the fun.

Key timings

5pm - Registration opens

6pm - Walkers set off

9pm - Last finishers

Tickets

£20 adults, £10 children (under 18) - includes a glass of fizz and a hot snack. Participants will also get a medal at the end of the walk.

LDGA Autumn Show

This is one the highlights of the year for Letchworth District Gardeners Association. 

A traditional village type show with displays of not just flowers, fruit and vegetables but also cookery, handicrafts and photography.

Both, members and non-members are welcome to enter exhibits; you don't have to be an expert to join in. There is a trophy for best newcomer.

If you're not exhibiting come along for a look round, there will be series of art and craft demonstrations and a produce stall. All this plus refreshments with home-made cakes and free admission for everyone makes it a great afternoon out.
