Watford Market will be serving up spooktacular tricks, treats and devilishly good street food on Friday 31 October, as Market Lates returns for Halloween, promising a frightfully fun night from 6–10pm

Set reminder with Facebook Events

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 live music, free face painting (6–8pm), a roaming magician and plenty of photo opportunities.

Visitors can enjoy a pop-up bar and delicious dishes from favourite market traders offering Caribbean, Asian and Korean street food, alongside Halloween specials. 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.
