The finest Tudor town in England, Shrewsbury is noted for its black-and-white buildings. In the centre of the town lies The Quarry, a 29 acre splendid riverside park. Shrewsbury is home to one of the largest and oldest horticultural events in the UK - the annual Shrewsbury Flower Show, a two day event in mid-August, that has been running for more than 125 years. Set in the Quarry park, there are a multitude of events, exhibitions and displays, with a magnificent fireworks display at the end of each day.
