I really enjoyed my visit on Sunday, there was a great selection of stalls, plenty of cakes, bakes, bread and pastries, jewelry, clothing, art, vintage goods, recycled furniture, cards, gifts, candles etc. The fudge and sweet stall was great. The location was lovely too, situated around the centre of the Old Town High Street (worth a visit even on non-market days!). Parking was easy, there's huge car park (£1.60 for the whole day or free parking right on the High St on Sundays) and Gadebridge Park is just a few steps away. The market took place inside St Mary's Church as well as on the High St next to the Old Town Hall. I particularly liked the hot food stalls and music in St Mary's Square, it gave the event a real festival vibe! I'll definitely return as it takes place on the first Sunday of every month (except Jan and Feb).

I highly recommend Nutmeg Spa in Hemel Hempstead for complete relaxation. Just smells lovely as soon as you walk in and atmosphere so peaceful, I so want to fall asleep but don't want to miss out either! Staff are all welcoming and lovely. My daughter and I can't wait for them to re-open now so we can use our Christmas vouchers!!
