WELCOME TO MUM'S GUIDE TO HERTFORD!
From bumps to teens, we have it covered! This is your one-stop site for information about what's on, things to do, activities & clubs, education, health and so much more for children and families in Hertford!
It barely seems five minutes since I was sat in my office typing away and preparing our top picks for Easter and here we are now launching our “Top Picks for May Half Term”.
We have been working really hard to try provide a comprehensive guide to local events for all interests and budgets. We know time is often of the essence for busy parents so we have made this article very hyperlink heavy, so you can click on exactly what you are interested in and be taken straight there.
This article is just a small snippet of them however you can find all the events listed here
Make sure you are following all our social media channels as well for our daily "Whats on" posts.
And of course we still have our things to do section here: which you can narrow your search by using the indoor or outdoor or free option.
The School Holidays are a great opportunity to explore our local parks and open spaces, why not try a new one this holiday theres some great ideas here:
School holidays are expensive and so we've done our best to dig out our top picks for local free or low cost events below.
We are also massive fans in this house of the forestry commission trails (which are FREE) you can check out our reviews of the ZOG Trail and The Stickman Trail by clicking on the hyperlinks not forgetting The Gruffalo Trail.
Top of our more costly options but still excellent value for a full day out we have Willows Activity Farm, Paradise Wildlife Park, Lea valley Park Farms and Alderham country Park, all of whom have some good family fun Easter activities on (and lots of chocolate too!)
