August Bank Holiday weekend, 29th – 30th August sees the return of the Hereford Indie Food Festival with a line-up of great local food producers and a range of bands.
Throughout August, children in England can travel by bus for free! Children aged five to 15 are eligible for the free fares, and you don’t need to register – just hop on board and ask for a free ticket. Find out which bus operators are taking part in your area – most of them are. And as of the start of next year, all bus fares will be capped at £2.00

On Saturday 11th July, 12 noon – 3pm, HGN GOLD member, Growing Local, will be holding their Summer Celebration with stalls, farm tours, games including welly wanging and more.
From 13th – 18th July, 1.30pm – 6.30pm daily, Kate Gathercole, a long-time supporter and former steering group member of HGN, will be hosting an installation of her work upstairs at De Koffie Pot, in The Gallery. It is work that has grown out of a slow deep-listening dialogue she has been having with the lovely River Lugg and Lammas Meadows. Some of that conversation has been just her own, and some of it happened with a group of friends and singers in late May – singing with the River. Do go along and have a look.
