OUR HERITAGE, SHAPING LEDBURY’S FUTURE

PROTECTING OUR HERITAGE, SHAPING THE FUTURE

22 MAY 2026 – MEETING

VINTAGE  fILM NIGHT: LEDBURY OX ROAST, 1953

For this HEREFORDSHIRE HISTORIES FESTIVAL EVENT we will be showing the film of the Ledbury Ox Roast.

Where were you on Coronation Day in 1953?  Perhaps you were huddled round your new-fangled gadget called a television set, watching the events as they unfolded in London.   Or maybe you took part in this local celebration in the shadow of the Market House.  Newspapers of the day reported that 7,000 people took part.  The event was filmed by the station-master and edited some years later to produce this footage. 

 

BURGAGE HALL MAP AND DIRECTIONS

Our Meetings

Meetings are held in Burgage Hall, usually on the last Friday of the month. They start at 7.30pm, unless otherwise stated.

We recommend arriving around 10 – 15 minutes beforehand so you have time to settle in and the meeting can start on time.

Open to members and non-members. Free for members, £5.00 for non-members. There is no need to book in advance unless otherwise stated. 

Burgage Hall is accessed from Church Lane and down the path beside Butcher Row House Museum.  Alternatively take Chapel Alley (next to the newsagents) off the High Street and enter through the double doors.

The Society organises about eight meetings each year.
