As we step into 2025, we want to take a moment to wish all of our wonderful app users a Happy New Year! We hope your year is filled with joy, success, and plenty of exciting local adventures.

Reflecting on 2024, it’s been fantastic to see how the Harpenden community has embraced the app. From finding the best local events to discovering hidden gems in town, your engagement has been inspiring. We are so grateful for your support and feedback, and it’s your involvement that drives us to keep improving and expanding what The Harpenden Guide offers.

What's coming in 2025?

We’ve been busy behind the scenes working out some new features that we think you're going to love. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:

1. The Harpenden Health Hub
Health and wellbeing are always important, and in 2025 we’re excited to be working with our Headline Sponsor TP Health & Fitness Coaching to introduce our brand-new Health Hub feature. This section of the app will be dedicated to helping you stay active, healthy and informed.

2. Business Directory Revamp
Our business directory will be getting a refresh this year to make it even easier to find local services and shops. We’re adding more categories, updating profiles, and introducing new listings so you can quickly connect with businesses that match your needs. Whether you're searching for a tradesperson, a boutique, or a great new café to try, we’ve got you covered.

3. Community Spotlights
In the spirit of keeping things local, we’re working on a new series of community spotlight features as part of building out our blog. We’ll be looking to highlight a local business, initiative, or individual making a difference in Harpenden. We know there are so many amazing stories to share, and we can't wait to bring them to the forefront.

The Harpenden Guide is all about the community, and we’d love to hear your ideas for new features or content. If there’s something you’d like to see more of, drop us a message through the app or via our website.
