Important Please Read: A Beautiful 2026 Michaelmas Fair All the elements were in place. The sun shone! Lions, Dragons and Morris Teams danced alongside each other. Wonderful live music from the top to the bottom of town. Exceptional steamers and vintage vehicles. Magical lanterns. Great entertainment and stalls. And lots of families and visitors all having a great day out. We would like to thank the Michaelmas trustees and committee members and all the volunteers who helped on the day and all the wonderful entertainers!
We REALLY DO need new people to join the team to help shape and run this beautiful fair. It’s a much-loved event. This year a couple of key committee members are stepping down. We need some new people to join the team to deliver a fair in 2027!!
There are comprehensive plans and guides to running the event in its current form and an experienced committee to help support, including a chair and secretary. It’s an amazing opportunity for someone with energy and vision to have this event in their portfolio - and as the fair had a good year, we are in a position to offer some remuneration for someone to take on the coordinator role (Pay to be discussed with applicants).
Without additional help the fair will not be able to take place. So if you can spare some time and would like to help shape and deliver the 2027 fair, we would love to hear from you. Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference. If you are interested, please contact [email protected].
Thank you to everyone who came and supported Michaelmas 2026 and made it one of our best years yet! The provisional date for next year's fair is set for Saturday 4th September 2027. This is subject to an adequate number of people joining the team to plan and prepare this wonderful event. Come and be a part of this magical, memory making day in a very special town!

Please like and share with anyone who you think might be interested in the Fair Coordinator Role or joining the committee in a smaller capacity as there are a variety of roles with different levels of commitment.

🍂 October mornings in Bishop’s Castle 🍂

As we move into autumn, Shropshire takes on a whole new beauty. The leaves begin to turn, the hills glow with rich autumn colours, and the scenery around Bishop’s Castle is simply stunning. 🌳🍁

Enjoy a crisp morning walk across the Long Mynd, take in the views, then make your way back to the hotel and settle in beside one of our three log fires, enjoy a delicious meal and raise a glass of local real ale. 🍺🔥

The perfect way to spend an autumn day in the Shropshire Hills.
