Update on Harpenden Summer Carnival 2021

Each year Harpenden Town Council and Harpenden Round Table work together to deliver the Harpenden Summer Carnival. Large scale events like these require significant lead in time to ensure that they are delivered safely and to a high standard. Unfortunately, the Government restrictions and roadmap relating to COVID-19 means it is not possible to deliver the event as planned in June 2021 and it has sadly been cancelled.  

We know the cancellation of Harpenden Carnival in June will be disappointing news, however we are committed to delivering it even bigger and better in 2022.  

Despite this news, Harpenden Town Council is planning to deliver a variety of exciting events for the summer and autumn months once restrictions are relaxed. This includes the return of the Harpenden Food and Drink Festival on Saturday 18 September 2021. The Food and Drink Festival will bring together businesses from the local area for a wide range of food & drink stalls and cookery demonstrations, while children’s activities, live entertainment, and much more will be on hand throughout the day.   

Harpenden Round Table also have exciting plans for the rest of the year including joining the Food and Drink Festival and hosting a Festival Field as part of the event which will have live entertainment and be delivered in partnership with the Harpenden Beer Festival who will be celebrating their 10th anniversary.  

In the coming weeks and months, the Town Council’s website and Facebook page will be updated with details regarding the Food & Drink Festival and many other Town Council events.
