Hemel Hempstead isn't just the Magic Roundabout and the Phoenix Gateway, though if you've navigated that circular marvel or seen Zavala's 40-tonne sculpture rise after Buncefield, you know this town has character. From St Mary's Norman spire to the restored Jellicoe Water Gardens, there's genuine history layered beneath the New Town modernism. But here's the thing: the best local events and community moments get buried in social media noise. By the time you spot them, they're already gone. The City Brief cuts through that. Each week, we deliver what's actually worth your time in Boxmoor, Chaulden, and Warner's End. No scrolling. No FOMO. Just Hemel Hempstead, properly curated.
