Whatever your interests and passions may be, from exercise and reading to networking and skill developing, We Are Harpenden - along with our members - are offering local events that will be the place for you to come and make new friends, meet like-minded people, learn new skills, and connect with other locals over shared interests. Please see the list of local events below.
The summer Funfair returns to Harpenden Common on Thursday 22nd August - Monday 26th August 5pm-10pm, with exciting rides for all ages.
Following his 2021 sell-out show, folk royalty - Nick Mulvey is returning to At Home Farm. Mulvey’s music is medicine for the soul and his soundscape compliments our ethereal festoon-lit woodland setting beautifully.
Mulvey’s work pushes boundaries in both songwriting and sound. A founding member of the award-winning British collective Portico Quartet, he left in 2011 to concentrate on his own material. Once solo, he released the Mercury Prize nominated debut album First Mind in 2014, and 2017’s celebrated Wake Up Now, along with a number of EPs. His most recent album, New Mythology, was recorded during the pandemic in Paris with renowned producer Renaud Letang at Studio Ferber.
Nick has a few new projects on the horizon, but in the meantime he is celebrating the anniversary of his debut release First Mind, which features famed tracks such as “Fever to the Form” and“Cucurucu''.
Nick credits his friends and family, and teachers past and present, for helping him arrive at this point and is looking forward to commemorating all of the songs that got him to this moment.

Why This Event Matters:
“These past few years have been economically challenging for everyone, especially for vulnerable young people who lack the necessary support systems. Herts Young Homeless is a unique charity dedicated to preventing homelessness among at-risk youth through education, family mediation, emergency accommodation, and comprehensive support services.
Our goal is to raise £200, and we believe that with the community's support, we can achieve this and make a small but meaningful step towards helping those in need.
