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.

Been exciting times, as we embrace history. And ongoing as now the 2026 Festival beckons.

“Following the huge success of the 2025 Festival the organisers are delighted to announce that the next Herefordshire Histories Festival will take place between Saturday 9 May 2026 and Monday 25 May 2026.

We look forward to hearing from the organisers of events in 2025 who will hopefully participate again in 2026, together with some new ones.

Below are pics from 2025.”

9 – 26 MAY 2026

We ask 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. We’re into year two. 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.
