Packed with antique shops and historic sites Leominster dates back to the 7C and nestles in the heart of the Black & White villages of north Herefordshire. The largest market town in Herefordshire and a finalist in the 2016 Great British High Street Awards, it is a hive of retail and industry, with regular markets and fairs, festivals and street shows that give it that real sense of community.
The Leominster Food Fayre showcases fabulous tastes from the borders in the autumn and Leominster Festival in early summer offers something for everyone and always includes fun workshops for children. Roll up to the historic Mayfair with traditional fair rides and stalls and enjoy the seasonal delights of the annual Victorian Festival, showcasing Christmas tradition and joy in the Market Square.

and foodie delights like quality butchers, dedicated cheese shop and a delicious delicatessen.
