Hitchin: Save the date!

Hitchin Town's grand old Top Field will play host to an eagerly-awaited summer event.

The evocative site on Fishponds Road normally entertains our community with football - but the home of Hitchin Town FC is set to welcome foodies and as much as football fans early next month.

The Canary Club will be home to the Hitchin Cider and Cheese Festival at the start of July.

More than 30 ciders from around the country and cheeses supplied by The Little Deli, Hermitage Road, Hitchin.

There will also be music on both days including the ever popular Sandy Ukulelee Group and Bad Bones on Friday and The Glee Choir and Hot Tub Steps on Saturday.

The event will be held on Friday, July 1 from 3pm, and on Saturday, July 2 from 3pm. Admission is free.

Hitchin Nub News will be at the popular event and may even film a few Facebook Live videos.

See our website for more on this very excellent community event over the coming days.
