    Abbeyfest looks to combine the electric atmosphere of a beer and gin festival with the comforts of the run up to Christmas, all under Shrewsbury Abbey’s iconic roof. 

  • What's on offer

    We’ll be offering a specially selected array of beers and gins from independent brewers and distillers both local and further afield, a selection of food stalls, live music and a few other treats along the way.
