Welcome Welcome to the first ever Hi-Jinks Festival: the big weekend for little people! Hi-Jinks is all about creating opportunities for young people to enjoy the arts whether that’s theatre, music, dance, drama, painting, pottery, books or films. Hi-Jinks is a great chance to get away from the telly, out of the house and into the arts! So we hope that you find something that you and your family might want to watch, or participate in, over this busy weekend! We are also delighted to be working in partnership with some of our friends from across our lovely town. Hertford Library, Hertford Museum, Courtyard
Arts, Leaf Bookshop, Hertford Town Council and East Herts Council are all involved in Hi-Jinks and we are very grateful for their on-going support! We are already thinking about next year so if you have any ideas or think your school, community centre, shop or pub might like to get involved in Hi-Jinks then please get in touch! We’d love to hear from you. Have a great weekend and Happy HiJinks! Rhys Thomas Hertford Theatre
