Shrewsbury Food Festival is likely to attract thousands of people to The Quarry on Saturday and Sunday, and visitors are being asked to consider how they will travel to the event.
Visitors to this weekend's Shrewsbury Food Festival are being urged to use park and ride on Saturday
Park and ride services are running on Saturday, with visitors also being urged to consider using local bus services, walking and cycling. The park and ride doesn't operate on Sundays. "Not only does it reduce traffic congestion but frees up parking space for those visiting Shrewsbury town centre, which is a win-win for everyone."
“Large events like this can present some challenges however, including the sudden influx of cars, so we would urge people visiting the food festival to use the park and ride service if at all possible.
