An exciting new initiative, #WatfordTogether, is seeing the town’s arts, entertainment, heritage and cultural organisations work together to help people in the town through the coronavirus pandemic.
Working with partners, they have been creating innovative and fun activities that can be completed in the comfort of your own home.
Here are the activities taking place every week:
