Was given tasting kit and tour for Christmas. Brilliantly well presented live on Zoom, great hosts, showed you how to make Bramble cocktail and several other drinks from the miniatures provided in pack (Vodka, sloe Gin, Marmalade Gin, Pink Grapefruit and GB Gin, two bottles of Fevertree tonic) and gave guided tour and talk. Great for a party and fun interaction - done really well during COVID lockdown and much needed relief!

The Loft Cinema

Reviewed By cathjoll - Hereford, United Kingdom

This little gem is situated in West Street, Hereford. This is a small cinema that show a variety of movies and even cater for children at the weekend. Here you pay for a sofa, so for a party of three adults it works out at around £5 each. The sofas are really comfortable and clean, and some even recline. You can choose between a two seater or three seater sofa. There is a bar serving a variety of drinks, including alcoholic drinks, and you can pre order food to have in the interval from the Burger Shop, which is located just around the corner. Definitely worth a visit.

Enchanted Kingdom

Enchanted Kingdom is Hereford's first and only professional intimate theatre venue aimed specifically towards children and families. With a younger target audience in mind, all of our productions are a maximum of 30 minutes long, followed by your own personal meet and greet with the stars of the show.

Wow what can I say about Enchanted Kingdom and the shows they produce? Firstly they are so unique and from the moment you arrive you can see how much thought and effort has gone into EVERY LITTLE THING. From the decor to the staff, nothing is too much and they will always go above and beyond to accommodate your needs (obviously within reason). The shows are incredible, the characters are so lifelike and you almost feel as though your watching a mini production at Disney Land. The outfits are top quality (non of the cheap stuff you often see other companies use that looks as though they're from ASDA). The originality, humour and audience engagement, I guarantee that there is something for everyone in the family no matter what the age! The grotto (which is my favourite part) is nothing less than sensational. It's so beautifully designed and Santa is really him! He's so authentic and true to character, from his classic outfit to the glasses, from his softly spoken voice to the time he spends with each child/family - you'll never feel rushed! Everything about this company is great and I would highly recommend you pay them a visit .... if you aren't already planning too :) I cannot wait for this years grotto and I have no doubt that it'll be as incredible as the previous years ????

Berrington Hall

Created as the perfect house in the perfect setting, Berrington has many secrets to uncover. Here in one of Henry Holland’s first houses, you can explore the family rooms and walk in the servants’ footsteps down the back stairs, moving around the house unseen by the family and guests. You will find out what happened to William Kemp, LordCawley’s butler, and discover the anguish of a grieving mother during the First World War. Alternatively why not join a below-stairs tour to see if you would have liked being a servant at Berrington?

Hereford Cathedral

Reviewed By JenAnnie - Nottingham, United Kingdom

What a fabulous visit we had to the Cathedral We can certainly recommend it Altho due to Covid some of the Cathedral is roped off, we walked round mist of it it is beautiful & it has such a brilliant History attached to it We went thru to the Chained Library (fascinating) & the Mappa Mundy which was a superb artifact to see. So interesting to see the Medieval map where scholars only knew & depicted Europe Asia & Africa. With many unusual birds & beats. So glad we went to see it. 5 star review for the Cathedral experience.
