Wellington

Wellington is well-known for its vibrant market which has over 100 stalls and has been held in the same hall for over 100 years.

Wellington plays host to all kind of great events including the annual Wellington Literary Festival, where well-known guest authors read their work. Last year’s highlights includes Germaine Greer, David Blunkett and Colin Dexter.

The Wellington Midsummer Fayre in June is a day of music and dancing, street theatrics and local craft and food stalls. This year the Midsummer Fayre takes place on 11th June.

Or if you fancy watching one of Shropshire’s latest sporting events, the Wrekin Barrel Race sees teams carry a 9 gallon beer barrel to the top of the nearby Wrekin hill.

The Wrekin itself is said to be the inspiration for JRR Tolkien’s Middle Earth, and its location – just a comfortable stroll from the town centre – makes it a haven for walkers.

Dining out in Wellington Telford is also a gastronomic pleasure with restaurant food from all around the world on offer, including Chinese, Italian, British and Indian.

Visit Ironbridge has all the information you need to find Wellington accommodation, including Wellington Hotels, Wellington Bed and Breakfast accommodation and Self Catering accommodation in Wellington.
