December events: Experience a quintessentially English Christmas

Much Wenlock is said to be the inspiration for the modern day Olympics thanks to Dr William Penny Brookes - the promoter of physical education and personal betterment - who lived and worked in the small town. And over Christmas you can enjoy the merriment of the town he enjoyed as a child through their annual Christmas Fayre.

There are over 100 stalls dedicated to Christmas merchandise, and entertainment in the form of a saxophone quartet, a male voice choir, a brass band, theatre productions and a partridge in a pair tree (well, maybe not the latter). And it's all rounded off with a candlelit procession down the High Street.
