Hereford Indie Food Festival
Celebrate August Bank Holiday at Hereford Indie Food Festival — the city’s biggest ever takeover of independent food, fire, flavour and creativity. Set across the festival site, this is Hereford at full volume. Smoke in the air, queues forming early, music rolling through the streets and thousands of guests moving between traders, stages and makers — all drawn by one thing: seriously good independent food.
Start your August Bank Holiday at Hereford Indie Food Festival with a lively daytime programme packed with family entertainment, creativity and culture. From 10:30am–12:30pm, the festival becomes a welcoming playground for younger visitors, with colour, music and hands-on activities unfolding across the festival site and setting the tone for a full day of discovery.
