Shrewsbury Town Council has revealed its first-ever regular programme of live traditional music this summer, with the brand-new Summer of Music series at the iconic Quarry Bandstand.
Running across various weekends from Sunday 11th May to Sunday 31st August, this free series of performances offers the perfect way to enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the park. This is the ideal setting for enjoying a picnic with friends or family, and making the most of the town’s beautiful green spaces.
Relax in beautiful surroundings whilst listening to the sounds of popular music played by brass bands, windbands and orchestras.
Sarah Loeptien, Administrator for Shrewsbury Town Council and organiser of the programme commented, “There’s something really special about relaxing in the Quarry with family and friends, a picnic, and some uplifting live music. We’ve got a fantastic line-up this summer – and best of all, it’s free.”
All performances begin at 2pm, unless otherwise stated.
