Families will be able to enjoy a festive fun afternoon at the Rose Garden in Bushey on Sunday, December 14.

The event, which has been organised by Friends of the Rose Garden in partnership with Hertsmere Leisure and the borough council, will take place from 2pm to 4pm.

It will feature arts and crafts, mince pies and mulled wine, as well as a special visit from Father Christmas.

The Watford Brass Band will also be playing.

Councillor Jean Heywood, Hertsmere’s environment portfolio holder with responsibility for parks, added: "The local community really gets involved with all the events in the garden and I’m sure this Christmas extravaganza will be no different.

"It will be a great opportunity to get into the Christmas spirit."
