It exists to foster interest, enjoyment, research and publication in the field of our local history.
We offer members a varied programme of events, at least monthly, throughout the year. These are mainly illustrated lectures in the winter and guided outings in the summer, but also include many social occasions. We stage an exhibition every year at the Bromyard Gala and have published a number of books. An annual journal contains articles on local history and accounts of our activities.

The Local & Family History Centre at 5, Sherford Street, Bromyard is the headquarters of the Society. It houses exhibition space, a shop, research room and archive. It is run entirely by volunteers and receives no regular local authority financial support. The building was purchased by the Society in 1999 and converted to its present use with assistance of a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The centre was opened for public use on May 1st 2003 and has been an overwhelming success and widely admired for the range of heritage services being provided on a voluntary basis under one roof.

The Research Room, Exhibition Room and Shop are open:
Thursday & Friday 10am – 1pm & 2pm – 4.30pm
Saturday 10am – 12.30pm
