Nestled at the not-quite-halfway point of the hike up The Wrekin, the Halfway House has provided refreshments to thousands of walkers over its 150-year history as a cafe.

Over the course of three years, it underwent a massive transformation with a restored kiosk, outdoor seating area and gardens and has hosted craft workshops and art sessions, visits with Father Christmas and Halloween events.

Campaigners with Halfway House on the Wrekin CIC were desperate to secure the building for community use, but fundraising attempts in 2021 failed to secure the then £645,000 asking price.
