Shrewsbury Flower Festival

Every August for more than a century the Shrewsbury Flower Show has been held in the picturesque setting of Shrewsbury’s beautiful 29-acre Quarry Park, with its magnificent sunken garden providing a colourful centrepiece for the thousands of visitors that have enjoyed the show over the years.

Magnalonga

The walk (it's leisurely and fun, not a race!) takes you up and down footpaths, tracks and quiet lanes through unspoilt countryside with fine views all around. This year, we'll be exploring country footpaths and quiet lanes between Ludlow and the countryside surrounding the town. There may well be stiles, steep hills and rough tracks to navigate.

During your journey, you make several stops for refreshment, at each of which you will partake of a course of a meal based mostly on the local produce of the area. At each stop your food will be washed down with local real ale, or traditional local perry or cider, or other drink with a local connection. You will also be given some bottled water.

A great and unusual day out for all the family.Tickets must be booked in advance.

Shrewsbury Folk Festival

As far as the music is concerned Shrewsbury Folk Festival has a reputation for delivering the very finest acts from the UK and around the world, always searching to find new authentic artists as well as providing a platform for established performers, and never forgetting to add some fun and diversity to our concerts. We try to bring quality in depth, and when you have so many talents on site at one time we get unique situations; artists bringing their fellow performers on stage to share their songs and music.

As usual there will be something for everyone, artists you recognise and love, and new bands and singers for you to discover. Once again we will be celebrating the tradition, encouraging the contemporary and partying with all of our high energy bands.

Hay Fayre

Doors open at 10am for shoppers, browsers and curiosity seekers. Free live acoustic music begins at lunchtime through until the evening, when we have the Saturday Sessions in the main globe. We're not your common-or-garden craft fair - more like contemporary arts, avant fashion and anything weird and wonderful. We're looking for diverse, unusual and quality stalls that are fired by imagination. Hands-on workshops run by our stallholders to give you an insight into their craft and ideas are central to Hay Fayre. Learn a new skill or make something mad in our workshop space in the heart of the Fayre. The Acoustic Tent will host musicians and performers in a colourful and intimate space, providing a varied programme of folk, blues, comedy and dance.
