we've been going to shrewsbury festival since the much - missed trowbridge village pump finished about 12-15 years ago. shrewsbury is very comfortable and easy for the older festival goer. there is always something good to see, and very often it's the bands you've never heard of, so the headliners aren't too important. it's always good for the dogs too- particularly greyhounds and lurchers, though sadly our Rosa has died so we'll miss her this year.
