Welcome to Bromyard
Bromyard is a former market town in north-east Herefordshire, England with a population of approximately 4000. It lies near to the county border with Worcestershire on the A44 between Leominster and Worcester.
It has a long history, with a number of traditional half-timbered pubs and some buildings dating back to Norman times. Once a centre for growing hops and soft fruit, Bromyard was served by a railway, now dismantled, which ran from Worcester to Leominster, and was a common destination for 'hop-pickers' specials' from the Black Country.
Today, the town hosts several large cultural events including the Bromyard Gala, a three-day Folk Festival in September and the Nozstock Festival of Performing Arts, which attracts over 3000 visitors on the first weekend of July.
