What’s Happening at the West Mid Showground?
Among the many events hosted at the West Mid Showground are three annual events hosted by the West Midlands Agricultural Society (WMAS) itself - the historic Shropshire County Show, Shrewsbury Live and the Bonfire and Firework Spectacular.
The site is also home to the Shrewsbury Folk Festival in August as well as the Shrewsbury Half Marathon, concerts, dog shows, private hire and a weekly Car Boot Sale (as events allow).
01. Shropshire County Show
The Shropshire County Show has been held for a century and a quarter and for many years has been hosted at the showground in the merry month of May!
Over the last 145 years, farmers and their families and employees have come together with visitors from Shrewsbury and beyond to bring together town and country and celebrate the agricultural county of Shropshire.
02. Shrewsbury Live
Shrewsbury Live was launched in 2019 and quickly became a popular event on the showground calendar.
Offering a packed programme of events, including shows from Monster Trucks, Stuntworld International, Extreme Mountain Bikes and more in recent years, Shrewsbury Live is an event for all of the family held annually on July 3rd 2022
03. Bonfire and Fireworks Spectacular
Our hugely popular display will feature two displays – the first ideal for younger children with a reduced level of noise, followed by a louder display later in the evening.
All proceeds will go to the Shropshire and West Midlands Agricultural Society’s Rural Charity, which ensures the showground can continue as a vital part of the community, along with allowing the society to make donations throughout the year to various groups and organisations.
