Bromyard is known as ‘The Town of Festivals’ from large scale music festivals like Nozstock and the Bromyard Folk Festival to the Speed Festival and the Scarecrow Festival there really is something to suit everyone of all ages. For a small town, Bromyard plays a big game when it comes to holding a festival or two. Attracting visitors to the town from all across the country and indeed the world you won’t want to miss checking out this line-up.
The Town of Festivals
- The first Bank Holiday in May welcomes the Town Criers Festival.
- Then we host the Speed Festival (alternative years with Shelsley Walsh) – a nod to our motoring heritage with in previous years the town becoming a track itself.
- Towards the middle of June there is a three day Scarecrow Festival, great fun for the little ones and all the family.
- One of our oldest festivals started in 1967, The Bromyard Gala, also popular with families and with a traditional rural feel takes place over a weekend towards the end of June.
- Nozstock, the Hidden Valley boasts 11 stages of music and draws in huge crowds to Bromyard in July.
- The Art Walk is a collaboration of local artists and shops, cafes and businesses in the town displaying their art at the end of August.
- At the start of September we have the Bromyard Folk Festival, another long running event with a warm family vibe and talented musicians and singers from all over.
- As the nights draw we light up the town with our famous Bromyard Christmas Lights. If you haven’t seen these yet you really must take a trip to see them, some say they’re better than Blackpool.
We come and see the lights several times a week once they’re switched on at the end of November. The kids absolutely love it. It’s become a Christmas ritual and treat in the dark nights leading up to Christmas.
