CHRISTMAS GREETINGS FROM
THE MAYOR
The Mayor of Hereford, Cllr
Sharon Michael sends to
everyone in the city her best
wishes for a happy and joyful
Christmas.
As a supporter of the campaign to
encourage more people to become
volunteers in the community to help
overcome the loss of so many public
services, the Mayor adds to her festive
greeting a tribute to all those already
working with voluntary charity
organisations doing a marvellous job.
Keep up the fantastic work.
FAILURE WILL BRING SUCCESS

Hereford’s bid to become the nation’s next City of
Culture in 2021 fell at the first hurdle, but its legacy
will have a profound and long term effect on the
cultural life of Herefordshire.
The Herefordshire Cultural Partnership was set up to
prepare the bid on behalf of both the city and the county,
representing fragmented groups with a culture connection and
is now a permanent body championing the arts. It has already
scored a major success, winning a Great Place award worth
£700,000 from the Heritage Lottery fund working with the
Arts Council and Historic England
Abigail Appleton, Principal of the Art College and a
member of the Partnership’s communication team told Festive
News:”The project will be delivered by the Rural Media
company on our behalf and a team has been set up to explore
new ways of engaging with and sustaining our local heritage.
Consultations are also underway to develop a long term
cultural strategy for the county.”
One of the first new events staged by the Art College, BID
and other partners in the city centre in October was
Ferrous2017, an artist blacksmithing festival highlighting
Hereford’s unique position as the only UK city offering a BA
degree course in the subject.
The Cultural Partnership is establishing a new governance
structure to ensure it is open and representative of the county.
Said Abigail: “We are a young organisation but I am
optimistic we will look back on the City of Culture bid as a
launch-pad for future achievements, not a failure.”
