All venues are within easy walkable distance from each other for most people. Some evening events will be adults-only, the remainder being family-friendly.

Location – Much Wenlock

The festival takes place in the beautiful Shropshire town of Much Wenlock, which lies on the stunning limestone ridge of Wenlock Edge.

The 2025 festival will again be held within the town itself in various venues. You may book some specific events without a day or weekend ticket which will show which ones. An e-ticket sent to you to show the Steward at the door. Day or weekenders need a wristband collected from the box office. Entry to an event is mostly on a ticket/wristband-only basis.
