History comes alive again in May ’26.
Herefordshire HISTORIES FESTIVAL
The story
A county-wide festival of Herefordshire History. We asked individuals and organisations to plan suitable events.
Exciting times, as we embrace history. The 2026 Festival Saturday runs 9 May 2026 to Monday 25 May 2026.
“Thank you for finding our website. Festival events are beginning to appear. I am sure there will be something of interest to you. Please look regularly as new events are published frequently.

9 – 25 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.
