West Mid Showground

West Mid Showground is a large, flexible event venue in Shrewsbury, offering organisers a wide choice of indoor and outdoor spaces for public, private and corporate occasions. Set within an extensive riverside site close to the town centre, the showground can accommodate everything from local gatherings and family celebrations to large-scale fairs, festivals, conferences and live entertainment.

The venue includes the President’s Pavilion, which features two function rooms, a reception area and kitchen facilities overlooking the main arena. The Berwick Pavilion provides a generous open floor area, bar facilities, a separate kitchen and storage rooms. These spaces can be hired individually, together or alongside the wider showground, allowing organisers to create a layout that suits their guest numbers, programme and production requirements.

Outdoor space is available for events that need room for marquees, stalls, attractions, vehicles, performances or large visitor flows. The site has extensive parking, toilet facilities and a full event licence, making it suitable for trade fairs, agricultural shows, markets, concerts, sporting events, community celebrations and corporate activities. The showground is also used for private parties, meetings, conferences and other functions throughout the year.

Its established facilities and accessible Shrewsbury location make it a practical option for organisers who need space, flexibility and straightforward event logistics. The venue team can discuss available areas, combinations of rooms and site hire options for different types of events. On-site camping, touring pitches and glamping accommodation may also be useful for multi-day events, festivals and groups travelling from outside the area.
