Ludlow, Shropshire
This year, the Ludlow Fringe festival, a bonanza of art exhibitions, craft stalls, comedy and music, celebrates its 10th anniversary from 18 June to 10 July, but all year round the town is home to a thriving arts scene. There’s the Artists’ Gallery, a cooperative of eight artists showing their wares, and the Bebe Fine Art gallery, which has been buying and selling pieces since 1979. If you are a lover of period property, then this four-bedroom, three-bathroom Georgian townhouse is a work of art, too, with olde features on display. £625,000. Knight Frank, 01743 664 202
