Welcome to the go-to guide for you and your child in St Albans and Harpenden!!

St Albans, Harpenden and the surrounding villages are some of the most amazing places to live for families, with loads going on for mums, dads, grandparents, nannies and carers to take children to!

For the last ten years Raring2go! has shared them all with you, from day trips to rainy morning suggestions, in and around St Albans and Harpenden! This season we have some great local family events, children's activities and parenting features as well as brilliant new craft activities, recipe ideas and games on this site. You can also have a flick through the online issue or check out other areas if you are travelling elsewhere this holiday!

Please let us know if there is something you are organising that needs local publicity - a school event, some interesting news, community days, family fun days, educational courses - we love to hear from you! You can also send in your own stories and you never know, they may be published! To keep updated, please follow us on facebook and twitter or sign up for our monthly newsletter so we'll send you all the details!
