What’s On

 

Our programme for 2026 started with the Community Governance public meetings programme that informed the consultation presented to St Albans City and District Council (SADC) for review. The Civic Society continues to work with others as part of the St Albans Parish Council Campaign Group, contributing to planning work around assets, heritage issues and cultural events.

Annual Awards Evening

The St Albans Civic Society Building & Design Awards 2026, celebrates imaginative renovation, development and design initiatives completed within the city in the couple of years up to December 2025. Our judges will be selecting winners from a wide range of nominated projects – from entire housing schemes to a beautifully restored archway; anything that enhances the quality of our city’s amenities, environment or public realm.

 

Many of the projects will be new architectural gems or a distinctive and imaginative restoration. Our special prize, the Trevelyan Award, is presented for a striking conservation project.

 

This is an exciting and prestigious evening – please add the date to your diary. Invites have been sent to members, guests and shortlisted entrants.
