LALG 35th Anniversary

In celebration of it's 35th Anniversary this year LALG is organising a number of activities and also supporting events during the Letchworth Festival.

Colour Run
A brand new attraction for the Letchworth Festival and first for our town, we are delighted to be supporting Letchworth in Colour: Fun Run on Saturday 11th June between 4-7pm.   Supported with live music from Singing Cactus and food from Chef at Home, and slush drinks and beers by a local PTA, this will be a fun event for young and old, family and friends.  Run round the beautiful course of Norton Common (once for 2.5k and twice for 5k) and as you go you will be covered in all the colours of the rainbow!  If running isn’t your thing, come down anyway and grab some powder to lob at the runners or enter your family and cheer them from the sidelines, hurling coloured powder as they go past.   Relax to the music, grab a burger/hotdog,  a slush drink or a beer – it will be a great afternoon!  Come down and see us.  Prebook for discounted tickets and family ticket options that won’t be available on the day

Inflatable Assault Course

Leysbrook Estate Agents, supported by LALG, will be installing a massive 220ft assault course at Howard Park & Gardens (“the Splash Park”) from 10am until 4pm on Saturday 11th June.  For £5 per person you can obtain a wristband that affords unlimited access to the wearer throughout the whole session.  It will be great fun and a wonderful sight at this central Letchworth location – and you know every user will sleep well that night!  All profits will be going to the Wilbury and Icknield Schools right here in Letchworth, please support them and us.  Cash or card on the day, or prebook here.

Make Music for the Ukraine

On International Make Music Day Tuesday 21st June, LALG is organising a fundraising event for Ukraine.
