When to visit Shrewsbury

If you fancy the ideal weather, the best months to schedule your Shrewsbury sojourn lie in the heart of summer – June, July, and August. During this period, Shrewsbury basks in balmy temperatures around 70.4°F (21.3°C), perfect for leafy walks along by the Severn, or for enjoying a quiet picnic amidst the medieval charm of Quarry Park.

However, those seeking fewer crowds and lower accommodation prices, December becomes an attractive option. The town, twinkling with festive lights against its historical backdrop, offers a quieter yet enchanting visit.
