A BUSKING festival is coming to Ross-on-Wye as part of a new group formed to celebrate the arts.

The group called createRoss was set up to encourage the arts in Ross and South Herefordshire and aims to enhance people’s lives through creativity, inspiration, fun and self-expression.

They also want to encourage the development of higher quality artistic creation in Ross.

The group was set up in response to Herefordshire's bid for the City of Culture 2020 and the need for a cultural partnership in Ross.

createRoss has decided to brand Ross as the 'The Town of Music' and the first event will be the Ross Busking Festival on September 9.

But createRoss will not just be interested in music events but any creativity. If you would like to be involved you can contact createROSS via their facebook page at - ‘createROSS’
