The Forum

The Forum is the town hall of Hemel Hempstead serving the administrative needs of the local community. The building displays six bays across its main frontage and features a glass entrance with dark red cladding that faces Marlowes Street.

The building opened in 2017 replacing a civic center from the 1960s that had served the town for decades. This new construction marked the start of a more modern phase in how the city handles administration and community engagement.

The library on the ground floor serves as a community hub where residents borrow books and gather together. Regular exhibitions here highlight work by local artists and showcase neighborhood initiatives that matter to people living in the area.

The town hall sits in an accessible central location and houses different sections for various purposes. Visitors can find services and information to help with administrative needs and local council matters.

The coat of arms of Dacorum district hangs near the entrance representing the administrative identity of the region. This emblem dates back to 1974 when the district was established in its current form.
