We are delighted to be taking part in the first Herefordshire Histories Festival, with a talk and walk planned for Saturday 10th May and a number of guided walks planned for the following week. All of Sellack Parish Council’s events are free but booking is essential at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/sellack-parish-council
Here’s a bit more about our Talk and Walk event…
Sellack War Memorial Plaque Trail: from concept to reality (part of Herefordshire Histories Festival)
Local Historian, Bill Webb, will talk with Sellack Parish Councillor, John Marshall about researching the stories of the men on the Sellack War Memorial and Sellack Parish Councillor, Mark Robinson, will talk about honouring their memory with the installation of individual plaques on footpath gates to form a walking trail through Sellack Parish. The plaques were all individually sponsored and a Sellack resident will talk about why they decided to sponsor a plaque.
There are two ticket options available at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/sellack-parish-council
