Easter is on the horizon and without proper research and planning it can end up with bored children and empty pockets.

Here at Mum's Guide to Hertford we aim to make your job a little easier, so we've done the research for you and have brought to you ten top things that you can do locally for FREE!!

Now obviously we are aware we have a range of followers with a range of different ages so this is by no means an extensive list. However we have lots more generic ideas of free of cheap things to do here: and here.

Now unfortunately FREE entry doesn't always mean FREE there will be travel costs of course if not within walking distance and in some cases parking costs (always research these first and remember to bring picnics! If you forget Asda Ware are doing their £1 kids meal packs again).
