What's on in Bar, Upper

Shropshire, England

Upper Bar sits quietly in Shropshire, right where the river meets the rolling hills. The Newport Cottage Care Centre keeps things lively with their usual mix of community events and local gatherings. It is a proper village spot where everyone knows exactly what is on for the weekend. There are always plenty of choices near the high street without needing to travel far. We pull all the local news together so you can sit back and plan your evening properly. No need to waste time hunting around when everything is right here in Upper Bar.
