Shropshire Oktoberfest returns to Shrewsbury’s Quarry Park this month (Friday 4 & Saturday 5 October).

The county’s biggest beer festival, the event features local brewers, drinks producers and street-food trucks, all presented against a backdrop of ‘live music and lederhosen’.           

The popular event also promises to serve up a barrel of laughs, with Sam Avery, Tony Vino and MC Keiran Lawless performing in the comedy tent on the Saturday.   

Friday’s music lineup features Unit 47, The Founders, Supersonic - The Sound of Oasis, Lucas D & the Groove Ghetto, and Fee Fee & The Sentiments. On Saturday the stage will host Two Blank Pages, Something 4 the Weekend, Custard & Gunpowder, The Dirty Rockin Scoundrels, Thomas Atlas, Hot Rox, The Vertigo Band and some Oompah.                 

Carpool karaoke and a silent disco also feature.
