Bromyard Folk Festival
Three days of morris sides, ceilidh and song in a Herefordshire market town surrounded by hop yards and cider orchards.
A compact, genuinely historic Herefordshire market town whose timber-framed streetscape, Norman church, clutch of independent cafes and bakeries, and long-running folk festival give it enough substance to reward a few hours without quite demanding a full day.
