Hereford City Bid have got their Plans for Christmas 2022 underway, and  are thrilled to be able to share details and dates for the city’s plans for the festive season.

Hereford Nutcracker Trail

The Festive outdoor nutcracker trail will be installed in late November ready for the beginning of the trail on 21 November.

In a change from the LoyalFree trails, this fun activity trail will ask visitors to use a printed map and worksheet to find the nutcrackers and write down all of their names. To encourage visitors into the city from around the county, the Nutcracker map will feature as part of a mail-out brochure to over 100,000 households advertising the city’s festive offerings.

7 December: late night shoppers can enjoy live music from John Cutler and Band, and the Got2Sing choir!

14 December: from 12:30pm, visitors will be entertained by live music in High Town and on-street performances from the Elvish Pressies (Old Market) and the Elves with their ‘Goodometer’ (High Town) from 15:30pm!

17 – 18 December: for our Christmas Weekend Extravaganza, Hereford will be abuzz with more great music in High Town and street performances in Maylord Orchards, High Town and Old Market.

Christmas Trees

The BID team will be bringing festive cheer to the streets of Hereford with miniature Christmas trees. Twinkling lights will brighten up streets and make sure visitors feel festive and welcome during the winter months.

Dates and location for installation will be announced soon.
