History comes alive in May ’25.
Herefordshire HISTORIES FESTIVAL
The story starts
A county-wide festival of Herefordshire History, new from 2025. We’re asking individuals and organisations to plan events (10 – 18 May) like the ones already on this site, and to tell us about them.
Exciting times ahead, as we embrace history.
Walks
Exhibitions and Special Events

Places to explore
10 – 18 MAY 2025
This Spring, we are asking 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.
Please tell your friends, family and neighbours and visit the sites during the Festival period.
Meanwhile already promised, we have a growing selection of events.
If you are interested in putting on a Festival event, however big or small, do please…
