PARENTS are celebrating ten years of Watford General Hospital’s birthing unit at a family picnic later this month.

Families, who have used the unit during the past decade, have been invited to join the celebrations at Watford's Cassiobury Park paddling pools on Saturday, June 18, between midday and 3pm.

Children will be entertained by a magician and face painter.

One third of Hertsmere residents use the facilities at the hospital.
