Children's Christmas Trail

Thanks to the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, children can enjoy a Christmas trail around Hertford. 

From Saturday 21st December to Saturday 4th January, follow the trail map and discover the "Not Just for Christmas" knitted dogs and puppies hiding in shops and shop windows across Hertford Town Centre. For your chance to win a £30 gift voucher to spend at a local retailer return your completed trail map to the Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre at the Wash. The lucky winner will be drawn at random. Good luck!

Download the trail map here or collect from the Hertford Town & Tourist Information Centre located on The Wash, Hertford, closer to the event.

To bid for your chance to take home your favourite knitted dog or puppy please visit the auction site here. Auction closes Wednesday 8th January at 7pm.
