Events in Shrewsbury From 25th May – 31st May 2026

This week in Shrewsbury offers a range of events across music, art, and community life. Live performances include a concert at St Alkmund’s Church, featuring piano music, and a tribute festival at My Shrewsbury. The town also hosts cultural exhibitions, including one at Ellesmere featuring local artists. For evenings out, look out for shows at My Shrewsbury, such as a film screening of Northern Soul: Still Burning and a comedy set by Susan Calman. The venue’s summer music season continues with performances by Chris Stapleton and John Barrowman. If you're looking for something different, consider a 3k race supporting cancer research, starting at Quarry Park and passing by the Guildhall. The town is accessible via the A5 road or Shrewsbury Railway Station, though parking in the centre can be tight. A short drive away, Beryl Bikes and First Bus offer alternatives. The River Severn and Shrewsbury Canal provide scenic routes. The Quarry Park is a key green space, especially during flower season. Check listings for times and locations. Use the Park and Ride scheme if you're driving. A few of the events are open to all ages. For specific details on accessibility, check venue pages.
