• Shrewsbury Christmas lights – This is night of entertainment. Shrewsbury decorates its high street with Christmas lights which are then switched on for the public to see, there is also a lantern parade and carols singing throughout the town. Many of our Pubs also host their own Christmas events throughout the night. The switch on is usually held in late November and is the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit. If you can’t make the switch on the lights can still enjoyed throughout the festive season. 
  • Visit our busy Market Hall – This is the perfect place to find unique and personal gifts for the holidays. The Market Hall was voted best Market in 2018, 2023 and 2024. Shrewsbury also holds a regular farmers market in the square which only gets better at Christmas. both markets as well as our high street hold late night shopping days making it a lovely way to spend an evening.
