Shrewsbury Civic Society

Shrewsbury Civic Society looks to preserve the built environment of Shropshire’s largest town. We are a not-for-profit organisation of volunteers and we receive no financial support from either national or local government.  We are entirely self funding, relying on membership subscriptions, donations and other means of fund-raising. Join hundreds of others in supporting our work.
The headquarters of Shrewsbury Civic Society is situated in the Bear Steps complex. These buildings include the medieval gallery, which is open, free of charge, to the public. Maintaining an old building is costly – help us to keep it in good repair and free to visit. Find out more about the Bear Steps below.

Help us preserve the Bear Steps

The Bear Steps Hall and art gallery dates back to the 14th century and is the home to Shrewsbury Civic Society. It also hosts our art exhibitions and is the venue for a number of lectures and presentations.
