Christmas events

Alex Valentine
1st November 2021

‘Twas a few weeks before Christmas, and after quite the year,
Visit Herts was searching for some festive cheer,
We searched for christmas events that would bring us some joy
And the businesses gave us gifts worth more than any toy!

We hope our Christmas events leave you merry and bright,
So Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night…

Can you tell we're getting in the Christmas spirit?! Here's your guide to Christmas events in Herts this festive season...

'Tis the Season at St Albans Cathedral
