THIS week should have seen the arrival of the May Fair in Herefordshire for its 900th anniversary. Last year, coronavirus saw the cancellation of the popular fair, but this year organisers have vowed to go ahead later in the year. But while they wait for the new dates in July and August to roll around, members of our We Grew Up In Hereford Facebook group have been sharing their memories of May Fairs gone by. The fair has become contentious over the years, said John Price. It is like Marmite – you either love it or hate it. I come from a generation that loves the fair. Maybe it means more to us country folk than people who lived in the cities because we had less going on. I love the loud music and people laughing and the hustle and bustle of it. It also brings different people than you normally see.
