An amazing addition to Hertford since the huge refurb. We've seen multiple shows with our toddler here and they've all been great, we even got to meet Sooty!

Hertford Castle Gardens

SG14

Our go-to for a relaxed afternoon. The lawn in front of the castle is perfect for a picnic and a run around. The playground's a letdown for now, but the big revamp can't come soon enough.

A proper local gem. Our baby adored the Rhyme Time sessions here, and it's a lovely calm spot to get little ones into books early.
