In the first annual Hereford AppleFest, local businesses, councils, cider producers and community groups are banding together to provide an array of entertainment.

Activities include: live music, children’s activities, giveaways, themed trails, guest speakers, visits with local artisan cider & apple juice producers, virtual reality experiences, plus feasts and tastings.

Bookended by activities for all ages in High Town on 1 October and at the Museum of Cider of 15 October, the festival will see fringe events during the week in the city and throughout the county.

The 8 and 9 October sees the internationally-renowned Big Apple Harvestime festival taking place in nearby Much Marcle, coupled with the inaugural Hereford AppleFest Banquet on Saturday 8 October, to be held amid the splendour of Hereford's historic Town Hall.
