Children and families can participate in a Christmas Book Town Centre trail this Christmas, running through the period of the school holidays.
Organised by Hertford Town Council, the trail runs from Saturday, December 19 until Saturday, January 9, 2021 and is free of charge for everyone to enjoy.
Christmas book covers featuring Christmas tales will be displayed in 20 different Hertford retailers.
Councillor Jane Sartin, chairman of Hertford Town Council’s development and leisure committee, said: “The Christmas Book Trail will provide a fun activity in Hertford for children over the Christmas period, and will be a great reminder for shoppers of the wealth of Christmas books available to read over the coming weeks.”

The themed trail has been created to encourage local residents and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers within the county town.
