What the Community Says

We Love Hitchin exists because of the people of Hitchin — their stories, their businesses, their events, and their generosity in sharing them with us. Here is a small selection of what our readers and advertisers have said.


“We Love Hitchin has become the first place I check every morning. It feels genuinely local in a way that bigger news sites just can’t — you know the people writing the stories actually live here and care about the town.”

— Sarah T., Hitchin resident

“We advertised our new café opening through We Love Hitchin and the response was incredible. Within the first week we’d had dozens of people come in saying they’d seen us on the site. It’s the best local marketing we’ve ever done.”

— James & Emma, independent café owners, town centre

“As someone who moved to Hitchin during lockdown, We Love Hitchin was genuinely my window into the community. It helped me find events, discover local shops, and feel like part of the town long before I’d actually met many people. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”

— Rachel M., Hitchin resident since 2020

“We used We Love Hitchin to promote our annual charity fundraiser and were blown away by the reach. The team were helpful, responsive, and clearly passionate about supporting good causes in the town.”

— Hitchin community charity

“Our business directory listing generates a steady stream of enquiries every month. It’s become one of our most reliable sources of new customers, and at a fraction of the cost of other advertising. Happy to recommend it to any Hitchin business.”

— Local tradesperson, Hitchin

“I submitted a story about our community garden project and the team turned it around in less than a day. The coverage brought in ten new volunteers that week. We Love Hitchin really is the beating heart of this town’s community life.”

— Community gardening group, Oughtonhead
