It blends historic architecture, riverside walks and a thriving independent shopping scene with a genuine community spirit. For visitors to Your Hearing Clinic, it’s the ideal place to unwind before or after an appointment — with plenty to see, do, and taste just minutes away.

Landmarks & Local Favourites

Waytemore Castle & Castle Park

Right in the centre of town stands the striking mound of Waytemore Castle — the remains of a Norman motte-and-bailey fortress. The surrounding Castle Park is Green Flag-recognised, offering riverside paths, peaceful gardens and picnic spots. It’s a beautiful place to stretch your legs before your appointment or unwind afterwards.

Rhodes Arts Complex & Bishop’s Stortford Museum

Just a short walk from the high street, the Rhodes Arts Complex hosts a lively calendar of live music, theatre, film and comedy, alongside the Bishop’s Stortford Museum, which tells the story of the town’s past. Pop in for a coffee and a browse if you’ve arrived early or want to make your visit a bit more cultural.

Jackson Square & the High Street

The heart of local shopping, Jackson Square combines well-known high-street brands with an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés and boutiques. Whether you’re after a new pair of glasses to go with your new hearing aids, or just a relaxing lunch, everything’s within easy reach. The pedestrian-friendly high street also hosts regular street performers and market stalls that give the town a friendly, local buzz.

Food, Markets & Community Life

For food lovers, Bishop’s Stortford Market runs every Thursday and Saturday, filling the town with colour and conversation. On the first Saturday of each month, the Farmers & Craft Market brings together local producers and makers — ideal if someone’s accompanying you to your appointment and wants something to do while you’re at the clinic.

The town also has an impressive range of cafés, bistros and restaurants. From relaxed brunch spots to fine dining, Bishop’s Stortford offers something for every mood. Locals often recommend No.14, Pircio, The Lemon Tree Bistro, Host, and Café Thyme for a relaxed pre- or post-appointment meal.

If you're looking for a great local pub in Bishop’s Stortford, you’re spoiled for choice. One standout is The Star on Bridge Street — this historic, relaxed pub features live music on weekends, a generous gin menu and outdoor seating for sunny afternoons. For craft-beer lovers, Star Bishop’s Stortford on the same street delivers with rotating taps of local brews, a lively atmosphere and a well-regarded beer garden. If you’re after something more music- and event-focused, head to The Bridge House on South Street, a multi-floor venue with live bands and plenty of screen action for sports fans.

Each of these pubs reflects Bishop’s Stortford’s welcoming community vibe — whether you’re finishing a town stroll or catching up with friends before heading to an appointment.

Health, Fitness & Local Wellbeing
