Shropshire Council is urging visitors to the Shrewsbury Flower Show, set for Friday, August 9, and Saturday, August 10, 2024, to plan their travel in advance and follow the provided parking and transport guidelines. The show, a major event attracting thousands, promises vibrant displays and activities, making it essential for attendees to have seamless travel experiences.

The Shrewsbury Flower Show, one of the UK's premier flower show events, features stunning floral displays, live music, celebrity chefs, and spectacular arena acts. It also includes numerous craft and food stalls, providing a rich experience for all attendees. Each day concludes with a grand fireworks finale, enhancing the festive atmosphere of the event​.

Motorists are encouraged to utilize one of the three designated Park and Ride locations: Oxon (West Shrewsbury - Postcode SY3 5AD), Meole Brace (South-East Shrewsbury - Postcode SY3 9NB), and Harlescott (North Shrewsbury - Postcode SY1 4AP). These sites offer Blue Badge parking, ensuring accessibility for all visitors. The Park and Ride services operate every 10 minutes, providing convenient and frequent transportation to and from the event.

For travelers, these arrangements signify a smoother journey with less stress over parking and navigating through potentially crowded streets. The accessibility of low-floor vehicles ensures that everyone, including those with mobility issues, can comfortably reach the show. Furthermore, the timeliness and frequency of these services mean less waiting time and more enjoyment of the event.

Post-fireworks, which are expected to conclude around 10:15 PM, Park and Ride services will shuttle visitors back to their respective sites from designated terminus points: Oxon at Claremont Bank, Meole Brace at Barker Street, and Harlescott at Bellstone. This ensures a safe and orderly departure from the event.

In addition to the Park and Ride, local bus services will be available to transport visitors back to their destinations. Arriva bus routes 24, 11, 27, and 1 will operate from Claremont Street (Market Hall) after the fireworks, providing comprehensive coverage for those heading home. These buses connect various parts of Shropshire, Telford, and Powys to Shrewsbury Bus Station, a short walk from the showground.

Rail travelers can benefit from multiple services operating to Shrewsbury Railway Station, a 20-minute walk from the event. Transport for Wales, West Midlands Railway, and Avanti West Coast offer services from across the Midlands and beyond. Planning your journey and booking tickets in advance via National Rail Enquiries can help ensure a hassle-free travel experience.
