Welcome to Hitchin Online.
Welcome to the beautiful market town of Hitchin, Hertfordshire. The town dates back well over a 1000 years and is home to the beautiful St Mary's Church. Hitchin built up around the River Hiz which still is part of the attraction of the town centre, the Hiz flows north and joins several other rivers before finding the North Sea at the Wash. The river itself, starts in Charlton just a mile from the town centre and is worth dropping by for a walk.
Hitchin is surrounded by many smaller towns and villages as well as the much larger Stevenage to the east and Luton to the west. Hitchin has a vibrant social scene which accounts for the large numbers of pubs, clubs and extremely good restaurants. During the summer, Hitchin is host to the Hitchin Festival which includes the Rhythyms of the World free concert which attracts over 20,000 visitors to our small town. Many of the acts at ROTW are from Hitchin or the surrounding towns which gives Hitchin a very active music scene.
