Ubique Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 From the Council website Herefordshire is shaping up for the most action packed August Bank Holiday weekend ever with several events happening all over the county. The most notable being the Flavours of Herefordshire Festival and the official opening of Old Market The Flavours of Herefordshire Festival will be holding its ninth annual free family foodie fun festival. The event will feature local producers, growers and retailers along with celebrity demonstrations and children’s activities. The event is expected to draw around 35,000 visitors this year with parking for the event located on the King George V Playing Fields and accessed from Hinton Road The Old Market, which first opened its doors back in May of this year, is officially opening with a series of events over the four days of the weekend. The management team is forecasting 50 – 57,000 visitors to celebrate the opening of Hereford’s newest shopping and leisure facility. There are events happening elsewhere in the county including the Weobley 29th Annual Art Exhibition, Sun Inn Ale Festival, World War One at Croft and Ledbury Carnival .

Glenda Powell Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I was at the Old Market Saturday and it was half empty the frstival on the Castle Green took all the crowds, and with todays weather it will be a wash out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippyhippy Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Indeed, the weather is pretty grim. Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubique Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Think that it's sad that the weather spoils events - does not matter who arranged it , it's just not fair , and the only person we can blame is the weather - which we have no control over .

twowheelsgood Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Noted that the Council just couldn't let the chance go to screw some more parking money out of punters - signs up in the City car parks today saying 'normal parking charges apply on a Bank Holiday'. Gaol Street had 4 cars in it, so that worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
