Remembrance Sunday 2027 is on 14 November, with the civic service at the war memorial in St Peter's Square. Here is how Hereford marked it in 2026 and in 2025.

Remembrance Sunday 2027 is on Sunday 14 November. Hereford marks it with a civic parade and service at the war memorial in St Peter’s Square, run by Hereford City Council and led by the Mayor of Hereford. Anyone can go: there is no ticket and no charge.

The date follows the council’s own rule. Its civic ceremonies page says Remembrance Day “takes place on the nearest Sunday to the 11th of November”. In 2027, 11 November is a Thursday, so the nearest Sunday is the 14th.

Updated 10 November 2026: this page now looks ahead to 2027. Remembrance Sunday 2026 was on 8 November. The details from this year and last year are below, so you know what to expect. We will add the 2027 times when the council and the cathedral publish them, usually in October.

What to expect, from the last two years

The city council’s listing for the Annual Remembrance Day Parade and Service on Sunday 9 November 2025 said:

  • Time: 11am
  • Place: the War Memorial, St Peter’s Square, Hereford
  • Who parades: local veterans’ organisations, cadet forces, the emergency services and community groups, with wreaths laid at the memorial
  • For the public: “Please gather in St. Peter’s Square ahead of the 11am service to observe the two minutes’ silence”

The council did not publish a separate listing for 2026. We checked its website and events calendar several times between September and November, and nothing appeared after the 2025 listing.

The council’s civic ceremonies page adds that the first wreath is laid by the Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire, or a Deputy Lieutenant, and the second by the Mayor. The council also says a ceremony is held on Armistice Day itself, 11 November.

At the cathedral

Hereford Cathedral’s 2026 programme followed the same pattern as 2025:

  • The Royal British Legion Field of Remembrance in the Lady Arbour, open from 31 October to 12 November 2026 (4 to 12 November in 2025)
  • Remembrance Sunday Solemn Requiem for the Fallen and Act of Remembrance at 10am, an hour before the civic service at the war memorial

Expect the Field of Remembrance to open again around the start of November 2027.

Remembrance in Ross-on-Wye

Ross-on-Wye Town Council published its 2026 programme in October. On Remembrance Sunday the parade left the Police Station at 10.30am for the War Memorial at the Prospect. The service and wreath-laying was at 10.55am, followed by the service at St Mary’s at about 11.30am. The programme also included the Poppy Appeal launch in late October and a Garden of Remembrance at the Royal British Legion planter in Broad Street.

Getting there and parking

St Peter’s Square is at the eastern end of the city centre, by Shire Hall and St Peter’s Church, a short walk from High Town. Any road closures for the parade will appear on our Hereford roadworks and travel page.

For city centre car parks, tariffs and free periods, see our parking in Hereford page. The cathedral is a short walk from the war memorial if you plan to go to both services.
