Home to one of the oldest remaining maps, Turner Award-nominated artist Yinka Shonibaré chose Hereford to exhibit his latest work that looks at the Monsters of that map in a different light. It’s a good way of looking at culture and heritage in Herefordshire. We have a rich history, but there are now giant pink installations outside stately homes, apps to identify trees in spectacular preserved forests and slam events at the UK's biggest poetry festival in Ledbury.
There are music festivals, film festivals, river festivals, indie food festivals and festivals where you can hit really hot metal things with really big hammers.
The new project Herefordshire’s a Great Place is working with organisations like Hereford College of Arts, the National Trust, Hereford Cathedral and the ever-expanding Courtyard Centre for the Arts to bring all of it together and make a bustling community with art, culture and heritage at its heart.
