on the Festivals
Bromyard may not be very big, but we are big on festivals. For such a small town, there is a surprising number of festivals and festivities each year.
Our events calendar is always packed and we love welcoming seasoned Bromyardians, as well as visitors from near and far, to come join us in these lively celebrations of music, culture, history and more.
SHOP INDEPENDENT
Strolling along Bromyard’s high street you’ll find many a gem. Our local shops are known for great antiques and surprising second-hand finds. In case you’re not on the hunt for pre-loved treasures, there are plenty of shops with quirky crafts and local products.
If you plan your visit for the first Sunday of the month, you should definitely stop by our Bromyard Market at the Square. This monthly market was re-established in 2022 to revive Bromyard’s rich market town history and has quickly become a bustling gathering place for old and young alike.
From scrumpy cider and fresh sourdough bread, to upcycled candles, beautiful wooden crafts and flavourful spices and condiments. Our local artisans and producers from in and around Bromyard always have some great finds on offer.
