Hitchin Festival has received £900 in sponsorship from Taylor Wimpey North Thames, which has been used to support Hitchin Creative Day and the Art Trail.

The event kicked off this year with the Art Trail on Saturday, June 29, which saw artists from across Hitchin and beyond display artwork across the town centre.

Residents and visitors can view a diverse range of artwork, with 50 installations and more than 100 pieces of art at different businesses until Saturday, July 27.
