Shropshire Oktoberfest returns to Shrewsbury’s Quarry on October 2nd and 3rd, 2026. Ticket prices are set to increase to gate prices on Monday, September 28th.

The annual event takes over the bottom of the Quarry for the two day event celebrating local brewers, distillers, drink producers, and bands from the region. Festivalgoers can buy their beers, wines, ciders, spirits and cocktails directly from the people who make them, whilst enjoying bands on the live music stage, street food, a silent disco, carpool karaoke, and a Saturday comedy club.

Beth Heath, Director of Fun at Shropshire Festivals, says Shropshire Oktoberfest has earned a reputation as the county’s biggest party. “Shropshire Oktoberfest’s crowd is a brilliant mix of beer lovers, partygoers, and live music devotees, with an age range from 18 to 70+! You can get dressed up in lederhosen or wear what you want – and after all this nice weather you might not need wellies this year!”

Friday’s music lineup features Two Blank Pages, Monsdale, Microbaby, and Hot Rox. Saturday’s lineup includes Something 4 The Weekend duo, Vorsprung Durch Oompah, Asparagus & The Kilburn Habit, The Dirty Rockin Scoundrels, Wild Candy, Audio Thieves, Ego Friendly, and Skaburst.

Saturday’s comedy lineup welcomes Preston’s funnyman Tony Vino as MC, joined by Daliso Chaponda – Britain’s Got Talent Finalist and Golden Buzzer winner; Mandy Muden – BGT semi-finalist, comedy magician and entertainer; Duncan Oakley - award-winning musical comedian and one-man band; Christian Reilly - award-winning musical comedian and global headliner; Jo Enright - award-winning comedian and acclaimed TV actress who’s worked with Ricky Gervais and Peter Kay; and James Dowdeswell - award-winning comedian, beer expert and author of The Pub Manifesto: A Comedian Stands Up For Pubs.

Beth adds, “Get your tickets booked to the biggest party of the year. We’ll be running our best dressed competition again, so get your costumes planned!
