About The City Brief Hereford
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Hereford
Hereford is a city shaped by centuries of history and a thriving calendar of local events. From the Cathedral Quarter's medieval architecture to the River Wye Promenade's peaceful walks, there's always something happening across the neighbourhoods and venues that make up this historic place. The City Brief exists to help you stay informed about what's on, whether that's a weekly market day, a seasonal celebration, or a community gathering. We cover the full spectrum of Hereford's event life. **Weekly events** form the backbone of our coverage: the Hereford Market Days that animate the city each week, the Saturday morning community runs, and the monthly Produce and Craft Market showcasing local artisans. These regular occasions provide the steady rhythm of civic life, and we track them so you know what to expect and when. Beyond the weekly schedule, Hereford hosts a remarkable calendar of established traditions. The Three Choirs Festival remains one of Europe's oldest music celebrations, rotating between Hereford, Worcester, and Gloucester. The Herefordshire Music Festival carries centuries of cultural weight. The Hereford Food Festival celebrates the region's culinary heritage, whilst the Agricultural Show reflects the county’s farming roots. Racing season at Hereford Racecourse draws crowds with its August gold cups and traditional sport. We also cover the quieter, seasonal moments: autumn cider-pressing demonstrations, tours along the Hereford Cider Route connecting you with traditional makers, and seasonal activities at Berrington Hall. The Cathedral Church of St. Mary and St. Ethelbert stands at the heart of much of this cultural life, anchoring both the city's spiritual identity and its event calendar. Whether you're in the Cathedral Quarter, exploring Kenchester Water Gardens, or anywhere across Hereford, The City Brief keeps you connected to what's happening. We believe that knowing what's on, and why it matters, is essential to being part of your community. That’s what we do each week.
