Watford Market will be serving up spooktacular tricks, treats and devilishly good street food on Fri 30 October, as Market Lates returns for Halloween, promising a frightfully fun night from 6–10pm...
Organised by Watford Borough Council and Saunders Markets Ltd, the event invites night-time revellers to eat, drink and be scary with family-friendly entertainment, including free face painting (6–8pm), a roaming magician and plenty of photo opportunities.
There will also be live music from independent pop and acoustic singer-songwriter and guitarist Abbie Gathard between 6pm to 7:30pm, followed by 90’s vs 00’s covers by a band called Scratch.
Visitors can enjoy a pop-up bar and delicious dishes from favourite market traders offering Caribbean, Asian and Korean street food, alongside Halloween specials. There will also be a Mad Squirrel supplied Land Rover beer truck and separate bar. With the market dressed in eerie décor and fancy dress encouraged, it’s set to be a fang-tastic evening of food, music and spooky fun.
The event will run alongside Watford Town Centre BID’s Trick or Treat Week (26–30 October), featuring a daily ghost hunt trail across 10 shop windows from 10am–4pm, and a spooktacular Trick or Treat Show on Saturday 30 October (5–6pm) with live Halloween performances, free Haunted House, scary characters and a thrilling fire-breathing finale.
