Cassiobury Park

Thanks Trinity Swing Band for your fantastic performance this afternoon 👏👏👏.

Come and see the excellent Trinity Swing band play at the Bandstand today from 3-5pm.

Great to welcome the 'Jessop' family to Cassiobury Park for filming of the fourth series of Here We Go.

The fourth series rejoices in the chaos of the Jessop family as they encounter love, loss, jealousy, a graduation, a birthday party, a surprise snail allergy and an eventful ‘fun run’ (pictured).

The Hertfordshire Film Office (HFO) website - funded by the council - makes it easier for productions to film in our county and promoting the value of the multi-billion film sector to the rest of the UK. 🎬🌟

Property owners interested in hosting filming opportunities can register their properties at 👉 www.hertfordshirefilmoffice.co.uk and filminginengland.co.uk.

Explore Cassiobury Park's wildlife, habitats and conservation on a peaceful evening walk.

Escape the hustle and bustle and discover the natural beauty of Cassiobury Park on a relaxing evening guided walk with Reserves Officer, Sam.

Explore the park's rich variety of habitats and uncover the fascinating wildlife that thrives within this urban oasis. Along the way, you'll gain an insight into how we care for and manage this special Local Nature Reserve to help nature flourish.

Whether you're a keen wildlife enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful evening outdoors, this guided walk is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience one of Watford's important green spaces in the company of our knowledgeable team.

This route may cover muddy or uneven ground, so suitable footwear is recommended.

If you are heading to the Splash Park to cool down in this hot weather, please remember:

👟Wear shoes. The artificial grass and taramac paths can get incredibly hot in the sun, with risk of burns to bare feet.

👚Wear loose clothing, hats and sunglasses to protect from the UV rays.

☀️Slap on a high-factor SPF and reapply regularly.

🌳Seek shade and take regular breaks out of the direct sun.

Our Explorers session on Wed 24 June is cancelled due to the hot weather.

Thank you Welwyn Garden City Band for your great performance at the Bandstand today 👏. Next Sunday is the open-air theatre production of The Sword in the Stone 🗡️🪨.
