The Abbots Langley Festival team is working on preparations for ALF 2026 and will be contacting previous event organisers soon.
If you are a member of any club, society, or community group, of any type, that operates in the Abbots Langley area please get your administrators to contact us so that we can suggest ways to add your group to what has become the showcase of activities and events in Abbots Langley.
It is a shame that the weather on Saturday proved a damper on the outdoor festival events, the St Lawrence Church Fete and the Tough Ten race sign-up session, but the festival was well and truly launched to sail away with a sold-out run of HMS Pinafore by Abbots Langley Gilbert and Sullivan Society.
There are some minor changes to the published festival programme:
(1) There is now an online link to book tickets for Not Just a List of Names, Roger Yapps fascinating talk on Wednesday 10th July –https://tickets.myiknowchurch.co.uk/gb/NDM5MC0y/t
(2) There will be an extra event at Abbots Langley Library –
As part of this year’s Abbots Langley Festival we are running a Creator Space session on Saturday the 29th of June. Come along and play the Banana Piano, create a stop motion video using Lego or learn some coding skills to send the Cubetto robot around a map. No booking required, just drop in between 10am and 12:30pm. All activities are free, though donations are welcome.
(3) Due to the General Election the Abbots Langley Art Group’s Come and Meet Us session on the 4th July will not be happening at Tanners Wood hall, as it will be a polling station.
The fist day of the 2024 Abbots Langley Festival is Saturday 15th of June. Ship Ahoy!
On that day there are three ALF events to choose from. You can come and meet the team that organise Abbots Langley’s well known Tough Ten race and sign up for this years event in October.
