BBQ Area

In a food festival first, we are joined by Chefslocker who will be sharing their expertise on the sacred art of barbequing!

Chefslocker is renowned for its Japanese kitchen knives and the Japanese Konro grill.

Their products have featured on Masterchef the Professionals, BBC’s Great British Menu, Saturday Kitchen, and ITV’s James Martin’s Saturday Morning, so we’re thrilled that their knowledge and great products will be at the festival. Ask them your burning (or how not to burn) questions!

Find them in the Home and Gardens area.

Shrewsbury’s much-loved musical theatre company Get Your Wigle On will take residence once again on the Quarry Bandstand.

They will be offering a chilled alternative to the main stage, where performers of all ages will showcase musical theatre, solos, drama, and band performances.

Grab some street food and a drink, and spend the afternoon with top-quality family entertainment on the Get Your Wigle On bandstand.

Shropshire’s best beer festival is back in town on Friday 6th & Saturday 7th October!

Join us in the Quarry for the biggest knees-up in Shropshire. There’s no mainstream rubbish at this event –instead we fill our beer tent with our region’s best breweries, cider makers, drinks producers and distilleries!

Weave your way around, trying new tipples, and take in recommendations straight from the brewers that craft these marvellous ales. There are around 180 real ales, lagers, ciders and perries to choose from.

If you’re not sure where to start, head to the Hopportunity Bar hosted by CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) with their top picks and unusual choices. CAMRA will also crown the festival’s best beer ‘Shropshire’s Choice’.

And if beer isn’t your bag, not to worry as we have local vineyards, distilleries and bars serving up delicious wines, fizz, spirits and cocktails.

The Shire Collection live music stage hosts local bands performing all the favourites that will get you dancing around the marquee. And Vorsprung Durch Oompah will transport you to the German beer halls!

More laughs are guaranteed

This year we will be opening up the comedy tent on both days for the first time – so there’ll be plenty more giggles in store.

As always, there’s lots going on throughout the site, including our silent disco sponsored by Throgmorton Associates Wealth Management, and Volvo Shrewsbury’s Carpool Karaoke.

All that dancing, singing and drinking will give you a hunger for some tasty treats –so rest assured we’ll have lots of awesome street food stalls to fill your bellies.

There isn’t just a couple of bars at this festival – we have huge marquees, stretching across the bottom of the Quarry, filled with local brewers serving hundreds of real ales, ciders, and lagers straight to our festival goers, plus our gin, wine, and cocktail bars.

So, what are you waiting for?

Get your tickets booked, order your lederhosen, and get ready for the county’s best party this October!
