History came alive in May ’25.
Herefordshire HISTORIES FESTIVAL
The story
A county-wide festival of Herefordshire History. We asked individuals and organisations to plan suitable events to run 10 – 18 May. And to tell us about them.
Been exciting times, as we embraced history.
“The Festival is over! It ran up to Sunday 18 May. If you organised an event, big thanks to you and your team. And thanks if you are visited an event, or several! I hope that you have a good time.
The number of events way exceeded our expectations, so much to attend.

10 – 18 MAY 2025
We asked groups and individuals throughout the County to organise events to celebrate the extraordinary history of Herefordshire. The Festival recognises that the County has many historic sites and stories which are not celebrated enough.
The enthusiasm of event organisers will ensure the longevity of this Festival. Our vision is to hold Festivals each year. And attract people to visit and enjoy the history of the County.
Festival Events
This Festival is organised through a Community Interest Company by a group of volunteers who are passionate about history and the County.
