A NEW community case display at Herefordshire Council’s Hereford Museum celebrates the traveller culture, with a collection of exhibits including paintings and artefacts linked to that theme.

The display can be seen at the museum in Broad Street, Hereford, until Sunday, May 10, and includes items by Juliet Jeffery, who has long-standing links with Herefordshire’s traveller communities. Some books for both children and adults, illustrated by Juliet, and exploring traveller culture will be on sale.

Paintings include those of key events in the traveller calendar such as Appleby horse fair and also give visitors the chance to explore the history and origins of traveller culture.

Sarah Skelton, Herefordshire Council’s community heritage officer and senior collections and access officer, said: “This display offers county people the chance to learn more about the traveller culture and especially how it affects Herefordshire.”
