A reminder that the Hereford Zipper Bus will travel straight from New Market Street to Asda, missing out Broad Street and Bridge Street, and on the return will head straight to Friars Street, missing out Bridge Street, during the May Fair next week.
We invite you to - Hereford May Fair Opening Event 🎡🎠🎢
đź“…Tuesday 5th May 2026
⏰3.30pm - Cathedral Close
With just a week to go...
Witness the much-anticipated traditional opening ceremony of Hereford's May Fair, which will take place on 5th May 3.30pm, outside Hereford Cathedral.
Members of the public are invited and encouraged to attend. đź’›
The opening ceremony of the May Fair has age-old ties with the City of Hereford, stretching all the way back to 1121, when King Henry I granted the Bishop of Hereford the right to hold a three day fair.
That makes the May Fair 905 years old this year!
