Halloween fun comes to life in new augmented reality trail in Hemel town centre

Follow the witch on your walk around Hemel Hempstead

Residents are invited to go on Hemel Hempstead BID’s new augmented reality trail from October 14 to 31.

The free trail tells the story of a forgetful witch called Wanda and her cat, Wicca, as she finds ingredients in Hemel to create a potion.

Participants can expect to see floating ingredients appear magically in front of them when using their smartphone camera on the LoyalFree app.
