A Seasonal Postcard Campaign Celebrating Our Town

Welcome to With Love From Hartlepool, a heartfelt campaign inviting you to share what makes Hartlepool special to you. Whether you’re a lifelong resident or a first-time visitor, this is your chance to celebrate the people, places, and memories that make our town shine.

Each season, we release a beautifully illustrated postcard designed by local artists Abby and Owen, featuring iconic Hartlepool landmarks with a seasonal twist. From the festive glow of the Art Gallery to the sunny shores of Seaton Beach, every postcard is a love letter to our community.

  1. Pick up a free postcard from one of our participating venues
  2. Write your message — a memory, a moment, or what you love most about Hartlepool
  3. Share a photo of your postcard on social media
  4. Tag @explorehartlepool and use #WithLoveFromHartlepool
  5. You’ll be entered into our seasonal prize draw!

Where to Find Postcards

Postcards are available at a range of local businesses, cafes, cultural venues, and community spaces across Hartlepool. Look out for our postcard stands and posters and don’t forget to grab one before they’re gone! 

Meet the Artists

Abby and Owen are the Northern illustration & design duo whose work brings our town’s landmarks to life with warmth, colour, and community spirit. Each postcard is part of a collectible seasonal series, so keep an eye out for new designs throughout the year!

Why It Matters

This campaign is all about spreading positivity, pride, and connection. Your message helps us showcase the heart of Hartlepool — its people, stories, and spirit. Together, we’re building a gallery of love letters to the town we call home.
