*Victoria's Shine a Light memorial*
Windmill Hill
Fri 24th January 2025
6:30pm
On 24 January, 2024, we lost the inspiring woman that was Victoria Kevans. Mother, sister, friend, businesswoman and so much more than that. The outpouring of love shown at her passing was truly humbling and further humbling was the generosity of those who made donations in Vic's name for a lasting memorial. After much thought and careful planning the first part of that memorial will be ready for the town on Friday 24 January, 2025, a year after Vic's passing.
A beautiful bench will be installed on Windmill Hill in Hitchin in her memory - a place where we feel she will be watching down on us all, keeping an eye on the town she poured her heart and soul into, a town she loved and which loved her right back.
Vic's family and friends will be holding a short ceremony... Read more

Join us on a great adventure to make friends, learn things, and notice the most important things in life.
Toby Thompson's adaptation of the Antoine de Saint-Exupรฉry's novel, as philosophical as its original, invites its audience to sense infinite possibility and recognise everything that is beautiful in the world. Performed by Toby Thompson, who brings this enchanting tale to life with his signature style
