A free event to support expectant parents or those with children under one has been launched.

The Baby Fair will be held on Tuesday, March 14, at the Meriden Community Centre in Meriden Way, Watford.

From 2pm to 4pm, parents or people expecting can meet each other with children the same age and there is no need to book.

The event, the first of its kind in Watford, will also play host to donating and swapping unwanted baby and maternity clothes.
