Saturday saw the town host its first ZombieQuest – a terrifying game where players face a zombie apocalypse while raising money for the Hitchin Tilehouse Rotary Club.

Volunteers attended ‘zombie school’ in the lead up, where they learned how to dress up, apply make-up and act in a deadly fashion on the night itself.

The zombies then appeared during various ‘scenes’ in secret locations across the town, as players tried to pick up the necessary clues and medicine to quell the Zombie invasion.
