LOOKING for things happening in and around Herefordshire next month?
We've compiled some upcoming events to keep all the family busy in and around the county.
These are three of the events published in the what's on section of the Hereford Times this week (September 19), focusing on events happening next month.
The Take That Experience
Wowing audiences with amazing vocals, replica costumes and electrifying dance routines, the group recreate the magic of Take That with live shows across the country.
Each evening includes hit after hit, with the tracks that have earnt Take That iconic status and their place as one of the UK's favourite boy bands.
This tribute band has even been endorsed by Take That's original manager Nigel Martin Smith as "the closest thing to Take That".
The experience takes audiences through all the classic songs you know and love from the '90s through to the present, including smash hits Pray, Relight My Fire and Shine.
The show also features a solo set from "Robbie Williams", bringing alive fan favourite songs like Angels, Rock DJ and Let Me Entertain You.
The Take That experience comes to Hereford's Courtyard Theatre on October 19.

Great Malvern Festival of Stories
The Great Malvern Festival of Stories for Children takes place from October 22 to October 27, in a number of venues throughout Great Malvern, including Great Malvern Priory grounds, Malvern Library, Malvern Cube, and even inside the belly of a whale!
The first four days of the programme is designed for local schools, but there will be a family programme on Saturday and Sunday, open to everyone.
The festival, arranged by Malvern Hills District Council in partnership with Boffy Arts and Events, is a celebration of stories, featuring a programme of professional storytellers, children's authors, illustrators, puppets, musicians and theatre.
As well as ticketed events there are free storytelling sessions, art activities, and stalls by local authors across the whole weekend.
Tickets can be bought from Malvern Theatres Box Office, with multi-buy ticket discounts.
Councillor Julie Wood, portfolio holder for tourism and economic development at Malvern Hills District Council, said: “We are delighted that the Festival of Stories will be back, celebrating our storytelling heritage and inspiring a new generation of storytellers, we encourage all families to pop along and enjoy all that is on offer.”
Steve Boffy, from Boffy Arts Events People, said: “We are really excited to present the third Great Malvern Festival of Stories for Children. Since it began in 2022 we have seen interest in the event grow, especially with local school audiences. This year’s programme will be the most ambitious yet, featuring many new storytellers, puppets and authors.
“We have had to organise several additional performances on each of the school days just to deal with demand. We are also really pleased to be working with so many local partners, sponsors, and venues who I would like to thank for all of the support you are giving us. We look forward to a fantastic festival.”
