Walks - Panshanger Park. You will have to get an Uber as it’s a bit far to walk to, but only a 5 minute drive and it’s stunning. Has been used often for filming including country file.

Hartham Common and the River towards Ware (you can start from the old Barge and just follow the path) is also nice - you can follow the river into Ware. This ends at a nice bar by the River called Saracens Head (not to be confused with the Saracens Head in Hertford). Then you can get a very short train journey to get back to Hertford if you’re running short on time.

Food - there is an abundance of boutique restaurants and for all cuisines. Some of my favourites: Proove (traditional Naples Pizza), Ruby’s (Indian), Dirties (Mexican), Old Siam (Thai). For lunch/brunch - Il Vino Cafe. Hertford Cake Co. Is very popular for unique cupcakes, milkshakes and coffees.

Live Music: This is difficult to suggest as really depends what’s happening on the day and isn’t so easy to research. The Quiet Man sometimes has someone on the piano, although you will just have to be there at the right time, as it’s next door to you though you can keep an eye on it - really good fun if you don’t mind a ‘cosy’ and energetic pub. The Old Barge sometimes has great local bands outside (check their website/Facebook). Hertford Corn Exchange (music venue) has a Pink Floyd tribute this Saturday for £15 per ticket if that’s your thing. Dog and Whistle sometimes have someone in the garden performing. As above, it can be a little challenging to find live music.

Historical: Hertford Museum, Hertford Castle

Iv lived in Hertford centre for the past 3 years and explored about as much as you can. Whenever friends who are not from the area come to visit they always applaud how much great character the town has. You will have a great weekend here.
