In the frame...

Broadway Gardens and Foundation by Conrad Ziebland

A unique snapshot of the world’s first Garden City, will be ‘in the frame', at the town’s Heritage Museum in Norton Way South, from June 24 until July 5.

Cinema very much ‘in the frame’

A £1m refurbishment of Broadway Cinema, a major exhibition tracing the history of cinema in the world’s first Garden City, two Open Weekends,  movie quiz and the chance to win cash in a vote to find the ‘peoples’ film choice.’

Not only film buffs, but the public as a whole, will have plenty to savour in a feast of ‘everything cinema’ over the next few months, in Letchworth Garden City.

Strike up the band!
