Interesting how and where this discussion has developed. Bromyard does still have some great fringe events as mentioned my fave being the Rose and Lion wonderfull beer in a classic pub. Warwick which for years has been my favourite Fest has struggled to find a singaround venue certainly since the Oddfellows closed. There just doesn't seem to be the right pubs there and when one becomes available it sometimes gets nabbed for an official event because of the lack of venues in the town.
