Organisers of this year’s Shrewsbury Flower Show are having to draft in a bigger marquee for floral exhibits this year after a massive rise in bookings.
More than 35 exhibitors have already reserved space in the Quarry Marquee for this year’s show on Friday and Saturday, August 9 and 10 – which is more than double the number at the same time last year.
Show chair Leanne Garvey said: “We’re absolutely thrilled with the number of exhibitors booked into the Quarry Marquee this year – a mix of regulars, first-timers, and several who are returning for the first time in several years. Leanne said: “We were inundated with requests for evening tickets for last year’s event, so this year we are selling tickets specifically for people who just want to watch the displays.
“So the only way to actually ensure being on the showground for the finale is to buy a day ticket which is valid from 10am right through to the end of the fireworks.”
