BROMYARD WELCOMES YOU

GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR OF BROMYARD AND WINSLOW,
CLLR. MR JONATHAN LESTER

I am very pleased to welcome you to our town, situated in England’s beautiful countryside. For over a thousand years Bromyard had been the focal point for people living in an extensive rural area, offering services to a widespread agricultural population, a market town community, and the many visitors to the town.

Remnants of drovers’ roads, tollhouses, and the railway lines remind us of past times. Bromyard town centre has hardly changed in a century. It is easy to find medieval, Tudor, Georgian and Victorian buildings when walking in the town. It has retained the charms of a traditional market town, whilst moving with the developments of modern times. Visitors will find a host of individual shops and places of interest. With its cafes, bakeries, local butchers and pubs the visitor is able to enjoy a more traditional shopping experience.

There are a variety of places to stay. There are Black and White timbered hotels, pubs, comfortable farmhouse rooms offering bed and breakfast, as well as camping and caravanning facilities which can all be found within a few miles radius. The Tourist Information Centre (01432 260621 located at the Bromyard Centre at the top of the High Street will be able to help you find accommodation.

Bromyard is famous for its festivals. Both the Bromyard Gala and Folk Festival are national events that attract people from far and wide. These are long established traditions that provide Bromyard with its sense of identity. The more recently established Town Crier’s event goes from strength to strength. Bromyard is also very proud of its impressive Christmas Lights. The switching on of the Lights is always a magical event and very well supported by the local community.

Bromyard is the perfect destination to provide an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of larger cities. With its friendly atmosphere and uniqueness Bromyard is well worth a visit.

On behalf of Bromyard and Winslow Town Council, I wish you a very pleasant stay and I hope that you enjoy all that our Town has to offer. We look forward to seeing you again and again.
With every good wish,
Cllr. Jonathan Lester
