The brand-new official Monopoly: Hereford Edition game will be revealed at the Green Dragon, in Broad Street, as a part of a launch party.

Hereford landed the honour of its very own customised game after seeing off 24 other places across the west of the Midlands to win the accolade of its own official board.

The announcement was made in February, and at the time the public was invited to suggest landmarks to feature in the game.

"We believe we have been wonderfully spoilt for choice putting this unique game together and can't wait for launch day on Thursday," said Ella Gibbs, custom games executive at Winning Moves UK, who are the makers of the board under official licensing from Hasbro.

"A huge thank you to everyone who sent in suggestions."
