In the 19th century, Broadway blossomed into a fashionable retreat for artists and writers, which led to the establishment of the Broadway Arts Festival. The village features many historic buildings, including the charming medieval churches and the 17th-century Lygon Arms Hotel, a testament to the village's historical significance.
