Throughout Half Term, 22nd to 30th October, visitors can use the LoyalFree app to travel around the city hunting for the Gruesome Groceries scarecrows hidden in local businesses. Once all scarecrows have been discovered and their riddles answered, you can collect a fun prize from Hereford Tourist Information Centre.
Lorraine Walters, Centre Manager at Maylord Orchards commented, ‘I am looking forward to the Halloween events planned in and around the city centre. There is a lot of free, freaky fun entertainment for the family to enjoy over the weekend and I would encourage the lovely people of Hereford to come out and take part, get involved and enjoy the experience. Face painters, jugglers, balloon modelling, performers and for free. Spooktacular!’
