The current power under which this is done is Sections 4 to 6 of the Hereford City Council Act , but there is an interesting historical background to this. The fair is also known as St. All candidates for a seat in the council who were supposed to be in favour of its abolition or removal to another site have ignominiously failed at the polls. For the privilege of holding the fair, the Act provides that the council pay twelve and a half bushels of the best wheat or the equivalent in monetary terms, annually to the Bishop of Hereford.
While this payment was formally commuted in , the fair is still opened with the colourful and traditional ceremony of the weighing of the wheat. Not all rides will necessarily be open at all times.
Leominster May Fair is a smaller traditional fair held in selected town centre streets each April or May. To ensure the smooth running of the festival, some of the city streets will be closed during the period of the fair. Some parking, loading and unloading areas will also be closed in Union Street and in the streets mentioned above.
This will make High Street a safer pedestrian area for fair goers. Advance warning signs will be on all routes leading towards the city centre advising of the closures.
Diversion routes will not be signposted as, with so many possible permutations, such signing would be too confusing for motorists, especially visitors to the city. Meanwhile, the southern end of Berrington Street will be two-way between St Nicholas Street and Little Berrington Street and motorists are asked to take extra care if using this route. All of Gwynne Street will be two-way. Off-duty show women at Mrs Price stall. Hereford May Fair. Tag: Aerial Photographs. Colour slide of Hereford May Fair at night.
