Shrewsbury Steam Rally
Shropshire's largest steam event, with over 1200 exhibits at Onslow Park including shire horses ploughing the working field, steam-powered cultivating, vintage tractor pulling and the famous Grand Parade set to nostalgia poetry.
Shrewsbury is a county town rather than a village, but its extraordinary density of timber-framed medieval streets, a Grade I castle, a three-time award-winning indoor market, and a thriving real-ale scene make it one of the most rewarding historic towns in the English Midlands.
