Last Wednesday (15 September), Broadway Cinema hosted a charity screening of the classic wartime movie, the ‘Battle of Britain’ to mark the event’s 70th anniversary and raise donations for the Royal Air Force Association’s Wings Appeal.

A special landmark in the world’s first Garden City has just received a £500,000 makeover!

In 1996, the Heritage Foundation bought the popular indoor shopping precinct The Arcade in the heart of the town centre and undertook a major refurbishment the following year, which included a new roof, repainting, a new entrance out to The Wynd and improved signage.

Now, some 13 years on and with The Arcade having a direct link to the proposed new Wynd re-development, the facelift was completed this week.

Shoppers in Letchworth Garden City Town Centre are now able to enjoy the First Garden City Heritage Museum’s exhibitions in the heart of the Town Centre.

Chocks away! The world's first Garden City is bracing itself for a "top flight" performance with a 'flying' concert from The Band of the Royal Air Force College.

The concert, taking place at The Plinston on Friday 11 July, will showcase the Band in a rousing programme of music to suit all tastes from classics such as 'Land of Hope and Glory' and 'Fantasia on British Sea-Songs' to hits from the movies including 'The Dam Busters', 'North and South' and 'Indiana Jones'.
