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.

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

KarAoke

Thanks to the brilliant team at Volvo Cars Shrewsbury, you can get dressed up and have five minutes of fame in their Carpool Karaoke tent.

disco

In our silent disco tent we turn the lights down low and put you in charge of the music. Sing at the top of your lungs and dance your socks off.
