A run of council-run Christmas street markets in Hereford's High Town and Commercial Street, held on Fridays and Sundays in December.

Herefordshire Council turns High Town and Commercial Street, in the middle of Hereford, into a Christmas market on Fridays and Sundays through December, within sight of the city's big Christmas tree. Each market day has around 30 to 40 stalls.

Expect local and regional produce, crafts, clothing, accessories, jewellery, decorations and stocking fillers, alongside some of the regular market traders, plus hot street food and drinks to keep warm.

In 2026 the markets run on Fridays (9am to 4pm) and Sundays (10am to 4pm) from 4 to 20 December. It's an open-air street market, free to browse.
