Contemporary photographs of the May Fair, Hereford

A collection of contemporary images made as part of the Herefordshire Life Through A Lens project.

These contemporary images revisit the Hereford May Fair, a topic that Derek Evans documented throughout his career, allowing us to see how traditions have altered, evolved and continued to this day.

With thanks to participating photographers - Alex Thimm, Chloe Christian, Clova Perez-Corral, Oliver Cameron-Swan, Richard Greswell and our project photographer Emma Drabble.
