Happy New Year!

Howden Town Council is excited to return and share with you their new logo, designed in collaboration with local historian Susan Butler. This new branding represents the town’s rich history while embracing a fresh, modern identity.

The new design for Howden Town Council encompasses the town's rich heritage. It incorporates:

Yorkshire roses, symbolising the region’s identity and history.

Howden Minster, the town's major landmark, reflecting its historical and architectural significance.

Bishop Skirlaw's coat of arms, a nod to Howden’s deep historical roots and the important role the bishop played in its development.

The river, representing the Derwent and Ouse, highlights the crucial role these waterways have played in Howden’s growth and heritage.

Together, these elements come together to celebrate Howden's past while embracing its future.

Since the launch of Visit Howden, our town's online information hub, we’ve been growing stronger and reaching more people than ever. We're excited about the progress and the positive response from the community.

As the festive season approaches, we'll be taking a short break over Christmas to recharge. But don’t worry, we’ll be back in the New Year with even more exciting updates and initiatives to promote Howden and all it has to offer.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to sharing more with you in 2025!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
