What’s on in Herefordshire in November

There’s plenty going on across Herefordshire as the year draws to a close. From guided walks to tipple tasting, early Christmas events and artisan markets. November may be chilly, but Herefordshire will wrap you in a warming winter glow! 

We’ve picked out a few ideas to make your stay at Discover Parks a real pre-Christmas cracker:  

Hereford Cathedral Escape Room

Various dates in November & December 

Brand new for 2025 is an Escape Room experience in the historic cloisters in Hereford Cathedral. You’ll be taken back to mediaeval Hereford and the task is to find a ring stolen from visiting pilgrims using the clues provided. And who stole it in the first place? Immersive fun in truly stunning surroundings.  

Staying at Discover Parks with friends or family? Get a team together and start clue-cracking!

Guided walk – the Offa’s Dyke, Mortimer and Herefordshire Trails. 

8^th November  

A special 10m walk that starts in Kington (only about a 15-minute drive from all Discover Parks). With the autumn colours still at their very best, the walk will be a feast for the senses. It’s a circular route taking in the Arrow Valley, Lyonshall Park and Titley Junction Railway Station which is a real nostalgic surprise!  

Loads of photography opportunities whether it’s panoramic views or some cheeky selfies!

Ludlow Castle Christmas Tree Trail 

From 22^nd November  

Towering about the town, Ludlow Castle is one of England’s most significant mediaeval fortresses. Come the festive season though, it indulges in a bit of dressing up. The Christmas Tree Trail sees trees decorated and hidden all over the castle. Spot them all and vote for your favourite!

Horse and Carriage rides

22^nd – 23^rd November  

Get the Bridgerton/Downtown feel ready for Christmas, at Berrington Hall near Leominster.  

The backdrop is this fabulous Georgian neoclassical mansion  set in its own amazing parklands. These were the final design of ‘Capability’ Brown including a ha-ha and 14-acre lake.  

You’ll be taken around the grounds in a carriage and pair. It’s an ideal way to take a breather either with the family or a ‘romantic’ partner!
