It might be pouring with rain in north Herts today but with Halloween fast approaching get set for Hitchin's Hermitage Road hosting its annual event to mark the occasion!

Following on from last year's successful Halloween Trail, participants will pick up a map from event sponsors Wood & Stone Floors in Hermitage Road.

Those taking part can then follow the trail around businesses who will have a Halloween image in their window for them to identify.

They will then be entered into a prize draw and there will also be a competition for the best costume.

Event runs between 2pm to 4pm today, Thursday.
