Shrewsbury Beer Festival

Shrewsbury hold one of the very best beer festivals in the magnificent St Marys Church which is under a 10 min walk from the station.
Suggest the 10:30 train from Piccadilly or 10:40 at Stockport (final destination Cardiff) which travels direct to Shrewsbury. I'll join the train at Crewe at 11:10am. Return trains every hour just before the hour till late.
Shrewsbury is an historic town with some excellent pubs that we can explore later in the day.
