Shropshire has a large festival and event sector. We have 2 street arts festivals, one in Ludlow run by the Assembly Rooms and one in Shrewsbury supported by the Borough Council. The County Council is currently developing a street arts project in collaboration with Desperate Men, locally based and national artists along the River Severn from ‘source to sea’ over 3 years and involving a partnership of 12 local authorities from Powys County Council at the source to Bristol City at the mouth of the River. We’re currently awaiting the result of an Arts Council bid due at the end of May.
