More about Stevenage

Hertfordshire, England

Stevenage sits pretty on its own hill and manages to pack a surprising amount of local colour into Hertfordshire. The Stevenage Museum keeps history from getting dusty while the town hosts plenty of market days that smell faintly of fresh bread. It is a proper place to drop in for an afternoon without needing to travel miles for entertainment. Family shows turn up regularly and live music finds its way onto the stage somewhere between the shops and stations. Near Here gathers these bits together so you can plan your weekend with a cup of tea rather than a dozen tabs open. There is never a dull moment when the town has a few good events lined up for Saturday or Sunday.
