Jer Holland our Cinderford Town Crier has been crowned the UK’s number 1 Town Crier.
Jer who had previously entered only three crier competitions  – Yeovil in 2024 – (First), Bromyard 2024 – (Second) and again in Yeovil earlier this year (second), fought off tough competition from 24 of the UK’s top town criers to be crowned The Ancient and Honourable Guild of Town Criers National Champion 2025 at Bromsgrove on June 14th.
Jer was appointed Town Crier for Cinderford in 2022 for the Queens Platinum Jubilee and since then has supported the Town with a number of events for local charities and not for profit organisations (and also led the campaign to award EMF their plaque and their return to the Town for Cindyfest 2025 on Saturday 12th July).
On behalf of the Town of Cinderford we send massive congratulations on this incredible achievement.
