Eat Sleep Live Herefordshire (ESL), the area’s award-winning destination marketing company, is leading a vibrant Herefordshire stand to present a host of regional group attractions, accommodation and experiences.
Herefordshire has world class attractions
The impressive Herefordshire stand will be partnered by a lively mix of cultural and immersive destinations including:
Hereford Cathedral
Famous as the home of The Mappa Mundi; the largest surviving medieval map of the world dating back 700 years. Discover the fascinating Chained Library, which holds over 1500 rare books chained together historic group travel accommodation Rowden Abbey, picturesque Frome Valley Vineyard, the Hereford Museum of Cider, which is the largest in the world, one of the oldest hotels in England the Green Dragon Hotel, and bastion of independent retail The Hop Pocket Shopping Village.
Come meet them and also discover more unique locations and group inspiration.
Hear Ye…
While the stand partners will be offering interactive wine and cider tasting and there will be a booming welcome from Bromyard’s very own Town Crier, Peder Nielson, who will be performing in full costume.
New Herefordshire for Groups book launches
As well as the stand activities, press and media packs and declarations of ‘Oyez, Hear ye..’ visitors will be a given the first ever Herefordshire for Groups booklet. Produced by Eat Sleep Live Herefordshire and its publishing arm Minx Media Ltd, the informative 48 page guide gives group travel organisers a glimpse into the county and where to take group-friendly trips and stays.
“Herefordshire is somewhere different to the usual big players” said ESL’s MD Heidi Chamberlain-Jones.
“Previous years’ feedback from the Show has proved that Herefordshire can stand up very well to overrun areas like The Cotswolds, Yorkshire or the South Coast, attracting travellers who love our beautiful countryside, picturesque towns and villages, authentic vibe and less crowded locations. One of the most common comments is ‘We didn’t know there was so much to do in Herefordshire’ once people see our promotional information.”
Herefordshire’s plethora of Food and Drink experiences including Cider, Vineyard and Distillery tours, Creative and Active Breaks, glorious Gardens, wonderful Historic attractions and scenic routes like the Black and White Village Trail and the Wye Valley, make the area endlessly alluring to tourists. The added appeal of independent accommodation instead of the standard chains is very attractive to today’s travellers.
The ESL website and guide books are a fantastic showcase to share the insights into where to eat, sleep and live life to the full in this beautiful county.
