Spend an Enchanted April in Shrewsbury


Get outdoors in April
As the weather warms and the days lengthen, Shrewsbury blossoms into the perfect town for al fresco dining and outdoor fun. Dining in the town square, picnics in the Quarry, boat trips on the River Severn, heritage tours through medieval streets and passageways – when you visit Shrewsbury in the warmer months, you'll see the town in a completely different light.
Unsure where to start? Browse our guide to al fresco dining in Shrewsbury.

Shrewsbury's April calendar is absolutely packed with events, from the much-loved DRAWN Weekend, bringing together an impressive roster of Shropshire's finest independent creatives for a unique shopping experience at Shrewsbury Flaxmill, to appearances from famous faces including Russell Howard, Anton Du Beke and Alistair McGowan.
