The economic and cultural heritage of Herefordshire’s hop-growing industry has always centred on Bromyard, including Bishop’s Frome and the Frome Valley.
In September 2011 Bromyard held its first Hop Festival and this was such a success it has now been added permanently to the town’s calendar and will be repeated in 2012 on the 1st of September. This will feature the unique event - the Hop Pocket World Championship, part of a full day’s programme of events.
Traditional fun fair • Traditional rural craft demonstrations • Art and craft market
