Rhythms of the World Testimonials

It's the highlight of the year for many Hitchin residents, bringing together all ages for a weekend of music, food and fun.

- It's a celebration of cultural diversity.- It's a brilliant launchpad for up and coming artists from the region and across the world.- It brings world famous acts to our doorstep.- It brings the local community closer together.

I just love the fact that it brings the whole community together regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or taste in music! I have bought music from some of the bands/individuals who i have seen there (and wouldn't have heard about them otherwise). I have met friends and acquaintancies there who I hadn't seen for a long time. Friends and family beg to come and stay with us (and book a bed-space months in advance!) because they say it is the most friendly festival they have been to. I put the date in my diary and nothing, but NOTHING would be seen as a preferable place to be (not even a date with Brad Pitt). It truly is an event that brings everyone together. I am truly blessed to live where its at! Thank you.

Fanastic two days of music, events and conversation from around the world. Local bands mix with acts from faraway places with an aim to entertain and enjoy. All ages can find something to suit and challenge their tastes. Great for families too. Sunday's best. bit more chilled but I shouldn't tell you that.

It brings the community together in a way nothing else in the area does.

An amazing organisation which puts on a fantastic music festival for the local community. Something for all ages and musical tastes. Fab!

Rhythms brings all manner, shape and size of people together for the love of a fantastic mix of music. Whether you like folk, ethnic, jazz, club or rock music there's loads for everyone. With a great, fun atmosphere, many local businesses represented and every type of food imaginable it is a grand music festival on a modest scale. Long may it continue! (And why not help make sure it does by volunteering - I've been a steward the last 3 years and really enjoyed it ;-)

I've been a volunteer at Rhythms for 5 years. The friendliness and teamwork shown by all the volunteers make it such a fantastic experience and one I want to repeat for many years to come.

I've been attending Rhythms of the World for many years and decided this year to join in and volunteer.
If you want to get a chance to get more involved with a great event in a great town, this is definitely worth looking at.
Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly and I'm really looking forward to all the fun to come!

The Rhythms festival is a wonderful day out! There's a big variety of music, there's delicious food from all over the world, there's plenty of jewellery and clothes stalls to browse round, and space to relax and picnic in. You can relax and unwind in the beautiful grounds of the Priory. Totally rejuvenating!

It brings people from all over the world together through music

I have been involved as a volunteer for Rhythms of the World for 5 years. It's absolutely amazing what a group of volunteers can do. Such a professional and fantastic event. Isn't it great to invite all your family and friends to it for the weekend? It's been good for making friends from all sectors of the community.

I went to this fantastic music event at the Priory in Hitchin last summer with my husband, 4 year old daughter and some of our local friends. The venue was amazing, the music was very diverse and a real professional setup. The food was delicous and an amazing variety to choose from. My daughter loved it as there were loads of activities for kids as well.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day and will definately be returning this year again!

Rhythms of The World is such a fantastic example of community.
Don't get me wrong, there is LOTS of fun to be had, and the musical line-up is always brilliant, but the best thing is definitely be part of something that brings so many people together.
Bring on 2010!

Rhythms is always a fantastic weekend. Many different types of music from all over the world, food stalls and craft stalls too. Glad that it has moved to The Priory which will give more space and places to picnic. Looking forward to this yearʼs festival.
