Welwyn Hatfield councillor Bernard Sarson said: “After the success of the last two Halloween Fests, the event is back with even more treats on offer, promising to be even better than last year’s.

“So, get dressed up in your best Halloween costume and come along – you’d be ghoulish to miss it!”

The annual Family Halloween Event at Mill Green Mill and Museum will be held on Tuesday, October 31, from 4.30pm to 7pm.
