Shropshire's biggest party returns to Shrewsbury on Friday 2nd & Saturday 3rd October.

Get your lederhosen ready for our huge beer tent in Shrewsbury Quarry.

There’s no mainstream rubbish at this sell-out festival. Instead, our bars are manned by local brewers, cidermakers, distillers, winemakers, and producers who proudly serve you their expertly crafted drinks. 


We’ll fill your bellies with incredible street food, entertain you in the live lounge, get you dancing in the silent disco, and singing along to all the classics in front of the live music stage.

Beer•Music•Comedy•Food

Shropshire Oktoberfest is brought to you by Shropshire Festivals, the team behind Shrewsbury Food Festival.

BEER, LAGER, CIDER, COCKTAILS, GIN, WINE & FIZZ

Shropshire Oktoberfest is all about championing independent drinks producers from our region - with a couple of German beers thrown in for good measure! 


Whether it’s beer brewed a few miles up the road, real Herefordshire perry, locally handcrafted gin, or wine from grapes grown in the town, expect over 150 quality tipples to choose from.

LIVE LOUNGE

Comedy and beer go hand in hand. Grab a pint and head to Saturday’s live lounge for a barrel of laughs to go with the beer.
