Shropshire Outdoor Show

[Cobweb]

*Not sure if the right place or not*
I was wondering if anyone has been to this?
I'm thinking of going this year as it's not too far from me and I thought it might be interesting for others in the midlands/wales area to know about it.

Their website is a bit difficult to read but here it is: https://www.shropshireoutdoorshow.co.uk/

An easier to read site here: https://www.shropshire-events-guide.co.uk/event/shropshire-outdoor-show-4/

Thanks for that, I'd not heard of it and it's less than 20 miles from me!

You're right though, that is a dreadful website!

The writing is hard to read, but that is such a lovely sounding event
It looks like they're really trying to make it work for everybody. More than fair traders prices, more than fair entrance fees, camping sounds good, with nice clear guidelines. Infrastructure like loos in place in good time, and water and food, etc., available too.
No hassle seems to be the entire ethos
It all sounds so very encouraging.

I wished I lived nearer, I love events like this. I hope it's a great success

Just got back from this show - it's less than half an hour from me so I thought I should go.

It's a lovely setting in the castle grounds and I enjoyed walking around the stalls that were there. It was a bit quiet and there wasn't a lot to see; I would probably have been disappointed if I'd driven more than an hour to get there, but for a short trip it was worth it.

If you're new to the game there were a few Bushcraft School stalls, some demonstrations, a chance to canoe around the moat, and an archery range - as well as a few craft stalls such as pole lathe and basket weaving.

I hope this is a success and it grows in future years - as I said it's a fantastic setting for a small show.
