Hereford: Hereford History Day - Saturday 21 September

Themed to celebrate some of the city’s unsung heroes, History Day opens at the Town Hall on Saturday, September 21.

After a civic procession through High Town with Mayor Kevin Tillett, the BBC’s Nick Barratt will open the Town Hall’s History ‘Supermarket’ bringing together nearly twenty local history groups. With walks, talks, tours, and performances throughout the day, events include advice on digital family history research from Nick Barratt; the story of the SAS from Major David Seeney; and a screening of butcher Nick Ogelby’s ‘dash cam’ film Hereford in 1984.

The winners of this year’s Young Historian Award will be revealed as the Guild of Guides focus on Hereford’s famous buildings (the Town Hall itself celebrates its 120th birthday this year) and famous city women.

Based on feedback from the Trust’s consultation findings, this programme has been designed to fund projects that explore and pilot solutions for family members-both collectively and as individuals- of wounded, injured, and sick, serving personnel and Veterans.
