Discover Street

Street brings together architectural history, culture and a distinctive landscape setting. The Anglican Church of the Holy Trinity dates from the 14th and 15th centuries; the Strode Theatre serves as both a theatre and a cinema. Street also overlooks the Glastonbury Moors and the Tor. If you are looking for a hotel in Street, these varied attractions offer starting points for your plans: architecture, performances, a weekly silent worship service or views of the moorland.

Architecture and historic details

Greenbank Swimming Pool is a Grade II listed open-air swimming pool from the 1930s, designed in the International Modern style. Its heated main outdoor pool is 30 metres long and kept at 30°C; the children’s pool is kept at 32°C. Greenbank Pool also has a landscaped sunbathing and seating area for picnics. The pool can be hired by the public in the evenings. Before visiting, check the operator’s latest information about evening public hire.

The Church of the Holy Trinity in Street is an Anglican parish church dating from the 14th and 15th centuries. It retains elaborately crafted roof structures, probably dating from the 15th century, as well as an ornate double sedilia from the 14th century. The two features are therefore attributed to different periods: the roof structures probably date from the 15th century, while the double sedilia dates from the 14th century.

Theatre, museum and quiet reflection

The Strode Theatre in Street is equipped for both theatre and cinema. It has two performance spaces: the main theatre has 343 seats and the studio has 64. If seating capacity matters for your plans, check the venue’s latest information. The foyer and bar area host changing exhibitions of works by local and regional artists.

At the Shoemakers Museum, you can take a self-guided tour or book a tour with the collections team. Street Quaker Meeting welcomes visitors every Sunday from 10:30 a.m. for an hour of silent worship. The formats differ considerably for planning purposes: at the museum, you can choose between a self-guided tour and a bookable guided tour, while the Quaker Meeting takes place at a fixed weekly time. Check the meeting’s visitor arrangements before travelling.

Landscape and getting there

Street lies at the edge of higher ground and overlooks the Glastonbury Moors and the Tor. Views of these named landscape features are therefore part of the town’s character.
