The whole experience, right from the greeting as you get out of the car is exceptional. Brilliant setting, attention to detail in the service makes for a fantastic day/evening. The show and talent is absolutely top notch. I have seen 4 shows at this venue and they are outstanding. What a fantastic local facility, love it !

I visited this small museum today with my 5 and 8 year old. You feel Covid safe and follow a route around the head masters house, then old school rooms and play ground. There is a great team of volunteers who make you feel incredibly welcome and introduce you to the areas which have been reconstructed with huge attention to detail. The children loved the school rooms and house and were allowed to engage with the spaces. The volunteers have lots of time for you and are happy to answer all your questions. There is lots to see and no pressure to rush. If you bring you smart phone with you the kids can also listen to some of the pupils of the school telling their stories. A great place for young and old if you have 1-2 hours spare in Hitchin.

A small theatre where the actors interact very closely with the audience some of whom are made part of the show. The panto is hilarious and the trio of actors work tirelessly to entertain the audience. Plenty of smut and innuendo as would be expected from such a play and you can bring your drinks in from the bar upstairs. Highly recommended.

Carole and her team are amazing! They helped me organise a last minute hen do for my mother, as the original vendor had fallen through (which I’m so incredibly grateful for). She made us all feel extremely welcome as a large group, and made the hen party one to remember. It’s located in a beautiful little outhouse in the garden, we met their friendly dog on the way out. They helped with all our questions whilst making our clay sculptures, and gave useful suggestions. Really relaxed environment and everyone in the group said they would like to return with their own families. Couldn’t recommend it enough

Parish Church of St Mary's, Hitchin. Church of England, Anglican.
Reviewed By therichastill - Stevenage, United Kingdom
St Mary's Church is located on the edge of the river next to Hitchin Market. There are lots of nice views of the church from the riverside so make sure you take time to enjoy the scenery. You can go in the church under normal circumstances and the grounds are open to walk around and explore the gravestones. Well worth visiting if you are in the area.
