Shropshire Oktoberfest is a two-day event in Shrewsbury Quarry, where we bring together over 180 beers, lagers, and ciders, as well as gin, cocktails, and fizz. We have tasty street food to accompany your drinks, and for entertainment, we have a huge live music stage with incredible local bands, a silent disco, Carpool Karaoke, and a Comedy Club on Saturday.

So basically, it's one big party!
