Letter from the Editor The Hertford and Ware Flyer April
This is one of my favourite months, with the daylight lengthening daily, beautiful flowers emerging, lots of wildlife to discover and summer being closer
but not here yet! We’re pleased to welcome you to our fifth issue of 2023, where you can be assured of a wide range of community updates and local activities to discover inside.
May Hertford and Ware
Perhaps you would be interested in some things to do for this time of year? Herts Health Walks update us on their wide range of free local guided walks. The Wildlife Trusts 30 Days Wild campaign will encourage everyone into the great outdoors and you can request a free pack by post right now! There are Farmers and Produce Markets in Tudor Square, Ware (the next three are: 21st May, 18th June and 16th July) plus a new Sustainable Market at Southern Maltings (4th
June).
Music Events Hertford and Ware
There’s plenty of music choice with free concerts in Ware Priory Gardens (from May to early September); free lunchtime concerts at All Saints Hertford and St Mary’s Ware and the Hertfordshire Festival of Music in Hertford (9thto 16th June).
There are new exhibitions at the museums: Sunshine on Sele is at Hertford Museum (6th May – 27th August) and a Coronation exhibition (until the 28th June) is at Ware Museum. Plus there will be two Open Air Theatre performances on the Hertford Castle lawn (17th June), organised by Hertford Town Council. The Wind in the Willows is at 2.30pm and A Midsummer Night’s Dream is at 7pm. What a huge choice of things to do! For all these activities – and more – you’ll
find the details inside your Flyer.
Charity News May Hertford and Ware
In charity news, the recent Isabel Hospice Muddy Mayhem fundraising event is expected to raise £12,000, which will support its work. CHIPS, which runs
playschemes for children with additional needs and their brothers and sisters, tells us that it has gratefully received a cheque for £18,378 from the Hertfordshire Golf Club which will help them with the service they provide. Both charities would be pleased to hear from anyone interested in volunteering or supporting them.
Plus on a volunteering note Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre is increasing its focus on supporting volunteering in the town, inviting local charities to run awareness sessions in its premises, and promoting a wide range of volunteer opportunities. The Tourist Information Point in Ware
(located in the Museum) also has information on local charities and volunteering. Why not pop in?
Club and Groups
Club and group updates include two Open Days at Hertford Castle Bowls Club (21st May and 17th June); League Competition success for Ware Swimming Club and the RSPB SE Herts Group’s programme of trips, meetings and walks – new members are welcome at all these
groups. Find out more inside.
From schools we have news about an overseas trip; Bar Mock Trials; a Dance Workshop and Ballroom Dancing, as well as some year group updates. Please keep sharing your school reports. And other community news, with us.
Thank you to the Mayor of Ware and to Dan from I Love Hertford for their features this month; there’s plenty to read in this whole issue!
