Bishop’s Castle and District Community Land Trust provides affordable housing for local people. It is a Society for the Benefit of the Community with charitable status, owned by its shareholders and governed by a board of trustees.
Right now, we are providing four affordable tenancies in the town-centre, and we are working on our next development.
Our public face is the Stars shop on the High Street. We let Stars at affordable rates as a pop-up facility for local charities, artists and entrepreneurs.
What people say after hiring Stars
'sold more than expected’
As a newcomer it was a great way to get my name out there and meet lots of people.
We sold more bicycles than I expected and had a very enjoyable time.
Many thanks to the Land Trust for such a valuable resource for the town.
Ratso Restorations will be back.

'consistently helpful’
It felt like we were running our own gallery, so could give time to visitors.
The facilities were ideal for staying there all day. The communication with the Trust and Enterprise House was consistently friendly and helpful.
We had a very successful show with sales exceeding our expectations and will definitely be re -booking next year.

'fulfilling our objective’
Thank you for having the foresight and energy to create such an excellent community facility.
Lightfoot had a very successful week with more than 120 visitors to learn more about our projects, and fulfilling our major objective of recruiting volunteers.
We believe this facility to be one of the best things to happen in Bishop’s Castle.
Mike Watkins - Lightfoot
