Gleaming pumpkins in windows, sugary tastes of sweets and chocolates, streets filled with trick or treaters young and old- when witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, ‘tis near Halloween!’

With Horror Mazes and ghost tours there is so much going on this Halloween in Herts. So time to drag out your decorations from the loft, brush off the dust from your witch’s hat and prepare the sweets for the little monsters. It’s time to brave the night and discover Halloween in Hertfordshire.
