An exciting festival will be held in the city centre this weekend, as part of a range of activities to celebrate the county's long-standing connection to apples.
Applefest will be returning from September 28 until October 13, bringing two weeks of apple-themed events across the county, and will be kick-started by a day of live music on September 28.
The city centre event will host various performances and children's activities, with a range of artisan cider, perry, and apple juice.
Fringe events will take place in various locations across Herefordshire during the two weeks, with activities and events ranging from cider and perry talks and tastings, orchard tours, live music, and much more. Many of Herefordshire’s most distinguished cider and perry producers will offer exclusive experiences.

The festival will celebrate Herefordshire's connection to the fruit. With the county having over 15,000 acres of orchards and producing 150,000 tonnes of apples and pears each year, it's not hard to see why cider produce is so popular in the county.
