Festival at the Edge is an annual international storytelling festival and the oldest one of its kind in England. Taking place in July, nestled alongside the magnificent and magical Wenlock Edge.

What about the kids? It’s a family-friendly event and there’s a children’s festival that runs throughout the festival weekend, mixing specially booked children’s performers with performers from the main festival.
