Shrewsbury Summer of Music 2026

Following the success of last year’s Summer of Music programme, Shrewsbury Town Council is delighted to announce an expanded programme of free music for 2026 at the Quarry Bandstand.

Building on the popularity of the 2025 series, this year’s programme will feature more performances than ever before, with live music taking place on both Saturdays and Sundays ensuring the event is accessible to a wider audience.

Running from Sunday 10 May to Sunday 23 August, the Free Summer of Music series is the perfect way to enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the park - just bring a picnic and a camping chair.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Quarry, audiences can look forward to a diverse programme of performances, including brass bands, an accordion band, a male voice choir, a military band and a saxophone quartet, all in a beautiful outdoor setting.
