Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Festival - what's on?
Hello Kampervan

The festival will have organised sessions at lunch time in the Wheatsheaf in the High Street and lunch time/evening sessions and mini concerts at The Bird in Hand near to the festival site. The other folk friendly pubs are the Anchor (the one we used last year for mini concerts) and the Wheatsheaf in Frankwell. The Boathouse has also made an invitation to folkies for a session in their pub.

There will be sessions (non-stop I hope) on site in the Members Bar.

We will have our dancers out throughout the weekend and the Morris sides will probably eat (and drink) at the Boathouse (the pub over the footbridge by the Quarry Park)which they enjoyed so much last year.

As you know sessions are organic and we hope as many as possible start up throughout the town.

The festival will be running a free bus service into town (and back)from 9.00am until 6.00pm. It takes about 20 mins to walk and a little longer to stagger.

Please pray for sunshine.

See you all there.....All the Best ..Alan
