Shropshire's biggest party returns to Shrewsbury on Friday 4th & Saturday 5th 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, get you laughing in the comedy tent, dancing in the silent disco, and singing along to all the classics in front of the live music stage.

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

ALE, 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.

PRIME TIME LAGER LIVE Music STAGE

Continuing our mission to champion our region, we book the best local bands for our live music stage. There’s a mix of rock, indie, pop and oompah from these brilliant performers who provide the soundtrack to Shropshire Oktoberfest with all the singalong favourites.
