Hundreds of people from across Watford and Three Rivers enjoyed a spooky Halloween celebration at the Community at the Colosseum.

Children were given makeovers, created traditional Halloween decorations and decorated ghostly biscuits during the Watford Community Housing Trust event on Saturday.

Families, who had queued up outside Watford Colosseum before the event even started, also enjoyed performances from a line up that included Britain’s Got Talent winners Ashley and Pudsey, Rob Miller and Rock Chorus.

Tina Barnard, chief executive of the trust, said: "This event was put on to benefit the community.for them to come together and create that better, friendlier community that we strive for.

“We were joined by over 50 local organisations and charities that got involved and showcased their fantastic work, with refreshments provided by West Herts College. It was great to see such a well-attended event with everyone really enjoying themselves.”
