Hitchin MP Bim Afolami is looking forward to our town's beer festival this summer.

The eagerly-awaited Hitchin Beer and Cider Festival returns next month - with Lyndhurst Financial Management once again displaying their commitment to our community by sponsoring the popular event.

The festival will be hosted at its home of the last few years, Hitchin Rugby Club, based at King George V Playing Fields off Old Hale Way in June.

The pandemic prevented the renowned festival from taking place in 2020, with organisers hosting a successful, albeit smaller than usual event last autumn - which means the crowd-pleasing fixture in the Hitchin social calendar will be back with a bang.

Speaking to Hitchin Nub News, Mr Afolami said: "The Hitchin Beer festival is yet another example of a fantastic local Hitchin event. 

"I look forward to going – well done to Lyndhurst Financial Management for sponsoring it and making it possible!"

Renowned financial advisers Lyndhurst have once again underlined their commitment to our community by sponsoring the Hitchin beer festival - and are giving away free tickets.

Lyndhurst's Adam Cook told Nub News: "It's great that Lyndhurst can support events that help bring the community together.

"We appreciate that it is never easy to put on events like this and hope our continued sponsorship takes a little stress away from the organisers who are now well-positioned with our artwork ready to go on the event T-shirts."

Hitchin Beer Festival Sponsors Lyndhurst are kindly offering free tickets for the eagerly-awaited event - and will be giving five of them away in a prize draw for five lucky winners.

So, if you would like to enter the draw all you have to do is send your request to [email protected] by May 31.
