Herefordshire Life Through A Lens: Stories From the Hop Yards

Stories From the Hop Yards: Inspired by the rediscovered Derek Evans’ photographic collection Stories from the Hop Yards brims with archive photos and films, alongside newly-recorded interviews. An essential ingredient of British beer, hops, with their evocative aroma, have been an integral part of Herefordshire life for centuries.

Pickers, farmers, traders and brewers come together in this first film in the Herefordshire Life Through a Lens project to recount tales of hop-picking days, past and present, and with an eye to the future.

All abilities welcome, this is a chance to have a go. Everyone is creative. You will take away a sketchbook and pencil on the day, so you can continue your creativity. Made in the Marches Gallery will provide tea & cake at the end of the walk (donations please to a charity supported by the Gallery). W: The Walking Sketchbook W: Made in the Marches Gallery

The programme includes several well established favourites like the walk with a lunch cruise on the river Wye, the steam train walk and, famously, “The Last Cream Tea of Summer”. Also on the programme is a leg-stretcher to the top of May Hill and a very special walk with a visit to Sollars Hope church where walkers will hear about Dick Whittington and his family. The medieval Yatton Chapel features on another walk where s history of the chapel will be provided by the walk leader followed by a light lunch. A shorter walk looking at the geology of Little Doward is also planned. In 2015 a surprisingly popular walk featured a visit to a robotic milking parlour and this walk, in the Hope Mansell valley, will be repeated this year.

Ian Anderson plays the Christmas Jethro Tull

Rock legend, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, will be performing The Christmas Jethro Tull concert in Hereford Cathedral at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 18 December. Over the last ten years, Ian Anderson has performed in many of the great cathedrals and churches in the UK helping to raise much-needed funds for their preservation. Usually based on a Christmas-themed concert, he features prominently the work of Jethro Tull as written and recorded by Ian since 1968. Added to this are several pieces of re-worked Classical repertoire and traditional pieces from the musical liturgy of the Church of England. Ian Anderson says of the show, “Whether your Christmas is a secular affair of gift-giving and family togetherness or a more worshipful recognition of one of the two biggest days in the Christian calendar, join us for some uplifting Christmas spirit, music, readings and maybe even a prayer or two.” “100% of the sales of tickets go to the upkeep of the buildings and, perhaps, also in support of the musical liturgy of the cathedral. I try to balance the festive time of year in song with a few of the elements of an old-fashioned carol service. All delivered with good humour and […]
