A pub is staying shut today for “noise control” relating to nearby filming.
The Horns, in Hempstead Road, would normally open at 3pm but it has agreed to stay shut while filming is taking place at West Herts College, over the road, this evening (July 28).
A sign in the live music venue said: “Friday 28th July CLOSED.

“Noise control for filming at college. Open Saturday 29th as normal.”
A comment from the pub’s account on Facebook reassured patrons “we are not closing for free”.
The main filming will be a “night shoot” this evening to record scenes for an Apple TV programme.
The college is being turned into a shopping centre for the production, with locals noticing fake signs for shops and restaurants in the windows. The ‘shopping centre’ has also taken on a very festive theme.
Some of the scenes will involve stunts, according to the productions company.
Anyone hoping for big celeb sightings might be disappointed though, as there apparently will not be many of the key actors on set.
