Shrewsbury is a pretty floral place most of the time – as you might expect for a town where Percy Thrower was Parks Superintendent for 28 years. However, possibly the biggest and most important events in the regions gardening calendar is the Shrewsbury Flower Show. It is believed to be the biggest such show that is organised by a horticultural society.
The show has been running every August since 1944 and this is your chance to see over 3 million flowers in one go.
The show attracts the best floral exhibitors from all over the World and visitors flock in their thousands to see the show each year. The reputation of the show also ensures that it attracts the most expert and horticultural judges in the UK.
However, it is not just the floral displays that provide the attraction. All the family will find something to enjoy. During the course of the show, visitors can enjoy live music, a high standard of horse-jumping and other arena events and at the end of each day is a magnificent fireworks display.
The show is fortunate to have such a magnificent setting in the Quarry, Shrewsbury’s magnificent main park in the centre of the town.
