All Stretton Bunkhouse offers you cheap accommodation in the beautiful Batch Valley while 1.5 miles down the road (or a lovely walk over the hills) the 60th Church Stretton Art Festival will be taking place between July 25th and August 9th 2026. The Festival offers Music and Drama; Arts, Crafts and Photo Exhibition; Free Concerts and Organ Recitals and Workshops and Demonstrations

There really is something for everyone. The Arts, Crafts and Photography Exhibition showcases paintings, prints, photographs, cards, jewellery, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, woodwork and metalwork and is open across the whole of the Festival. Demonstrations include Painting without Brushes and an opportunity to view the work of Malcolm Morris ‘Jewellery Maker to the Stars’. Robin Ince will be there and for the children the Paperback Theatre will be putting on a production of the ‘Railway Children’ at Acton Scott.
Plenty of great places to eat in Church Stretton or you can return to All Stretton Bunkhouse for a bit of peace and quiet!

Why not book a room — or even the whole bunkhouse — and enjoy some quality time together? Step straight out onto the hills, organise an Easter egg hunt, or race our ducks in the stream (string included… they’re surprisingly fast!). From the bunkhouse, you can walk straight out of the gate onto the hills above the beautiful Batch Valley, part of the Long Mynd in Shropshire. Set the children off on an Easter egg hunt while you relax with a cuppa. At the end of the day, cook up a feast or take a stroll down to the local pub. A perfect reset before heading back to the daily routine.
