Join over 1,000 residents at the 2026 Diversity Festival — live performances, local business stalls, and real opportunities for young people, all in the heart of Elstree and Borehamwood.
Celebrating the diverse mix of residents in Hertsmere through culture, food, and shared stories
Helping early-stage businesses in our community grow, connect, and get noticed
Mentoring young volunteers with workshops and real-world experience to build their careers
Diversity Festival began in 2018 with one goal: to bring the whole community of Elstree and Borehamwood together in one place. Every year, we create space for local businesses, young people, and residents to connect, celebrate, and grow. What started as a single event has become one of Hertsmere's most looked-forward-to community occasions.
“We unite cultures…”
“We empower youth…”
“We uplift local businesses…”
“We nurture well-being…”
Discover more than 50 cultures via engaging seminars, live performances, and dynamic art installations that honour the diverse fabric of our community.
Through practical seminars, one-on-one mentoring sessions, and professional development materials like career coaching and CV help, empower the next generation.
Meet successful local business owners at special market booths where craftsmen and start-ups display their goods, make connections, and expand.
Make holistic health a priority with age-appropriate mindfulness exercises, entertaining yoga sessions, and expert-led panels on mental wellbeing.
