Letchworth Garden City is turning 125 years old!

Congratulations to all the towns that have been shortlisted for the UK Town of Culture 2028.
Whilst there weren’t any shortlisted towns in Herts, Beds and Bucks, we were thrilled to have been part of the process alongside some of our neighbouring towns. We want to say a big thank you to our partners and the whole Letchworth community for getting behind the bid – it was a truly collaborative effort – which doesn’t stop here! The bid was just the beginning of our preparations for 2028, which will be a huge year for us as we celebrate Letchworth’s 125th anniversary.
We’ll be sharing much more about our plans in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, we wanted to give you a first look at our new “125” logo!
We recently ran a competition to create our anniversary brand, and this was the winning design, created by Letchworth Resident, Jess Ewers.
Keep your eyes out for it popping up all over town!
