Wednesdays, 10am – 11am, term time only Dan the Dog Exhibition On Saturday 26 July 2025 a new statue of Dan the Bulldog was unveiled by His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant Edward Harley CBE. It sits on the banks of the River Wye in Bishop’s Meadow. Dan, the original bulldog, was a cherished companion of George Robertson Sinclair, the former organist of Hereford Cathedral. In 1898, on a walk along the River Wye with his great friend Sir Edward Elgar, Dan tumbled into the water, an event that left a lasting impression. To celebrate, primary school children across the county were invited to illustrate Dan’s story. Winning entries and additional standout artworks are now on display.
