Our main events for 2013 have now been finalised – review our listings here.  Our opening headliners are The Cardinall’s Musick and we’re closing with a spectacular return performance from  The London Festival Opera.  In between we have free concerts, a tribute to Buddy Holly, a one woman performance bringing our Georgian past alive, several soloists, a couple of trios (classical and jazz), a quintet, a pair of musical twins, a conversation with Tim Brooke-Taylor, a tribute to George Orwell, an art exhibition and our children’s workshop performance – “school’s out@the arts festival”.

Why don’t you join us?  In one day you can be entertained, inspired, educated and challenged.  Start the day by exploring our glorious scenery; eat fresh, locally sourced food at one of our friendly pubs, cafes or restaurants; attend a free concert;  take time to browse in the fabulous Art and Crafts Exhibition (perhaps you can buy a little memento of your visit); then treat yourself to some exceptional entertainment at one of the many events planned for our 47th Arts Festival.

We’re sure you’ll have fun,  read a letter about a trip to Church Stretton and the Arts Festival, check out photos of past performances or come to Church Stretton and see for yourself!
