Watford Town Centre BID’s 'Trick or Treat week' will have activities for all ages from 26 October - 1 November.

On Saturday 26 October, Watford Town Centre presents the Trick or Treat show by the pond on The Parade, from 4:30pm – 6pm. There will be street performances and live entertainment, prizes for fancy dress and a fire-breathing act.

The Trick or Treat Trail, the second Halloween event, will be held from 28 October - 1 November. It will allow children to search the town centre for inflatable pumpkins to win sweets and be in with the chance of winning a £100 Watford Gift Card.

On finding an inflatable pumpkin, visit the shop or venue where it is displayed and say, “Trick or Treat!” to a member of staff to receive the sweet treat.

Kara Mesiano, Watford Town Centre BID’s manager, said: “We are delighted to introduce a brand-new event to our town to bring some added fun and entertainment during half term and spooky season. We have been working closely with Watford Town Centre’s shops, leisure and hospitality businesses to make Trick or Treat week a showcase new event to the calendar. It’s a fun twist on trick or treating in your residential area – you can now do it in town centre shops!”

Both events will be free to attend. For more information, visit: https://watfordtowncentre.com/whats-on/
