Relive the celebration of the 1945 victory in Europe with a weekend of music, fun and living history organised by Letchworth Arts Centre, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. July 3 and 4. Have you memories of life during the Second World War? Or maybe stories from your parents or grandparents? We would love to hear from you. Our celebration will include a book of reminiscences put together and illustrated by children from local primary schools. Your stories will be invaluable. For details, click here.
 
INVITATION: We want your views and ideas about our activities generally.  Our annual meeting is at the Arts Centre on Wednesday March 17 at 7.30 and is our opportunity to report to you on the last 12 months and plans for the future, and, most importantly, for you to let us know what you think and what you would like to see happening. Tell us what you think we have done right and anything we have done wrong. Ask difficult questions. And let us know what you feel we should be doing next.
 
We now have a permanent display of work by the best of local craftspeople at the rear of the Main Gallery. It is the place to find that special present -- or just to treat yourself to something rather special. For more details, click here.
 
We have many new activities this year. You can download our latest brochure here or explore the website for details of courses, stage presentations, exhibitions, talks etc. Get discounts  by becoming an Arts Centre member. Family membership is a bargain £10 a year. Download a membership form here.
 
Have fun and help us raise funds by taking part in this year's sponsored walk in June, organised by the FSI. All involved in 2009 said they had a terrific time. Check out the details here.
