Big turnout expected for car & leisure show

The third Shropshire Star Car & Leisure Show to be held this weekend is on target to be the biggest yet.

It will be held on Saturday and Sunday at Shrewsbury Town Football Club in Oteley Road from 10am to 4pm on both days.

Organised by the Shropshire Star, the event has attracted some of the county’s leading names in the car and leisure industry with 13 franchises helping to bring together one of the best car collections at one venue.

Visitors will also be given the chance to get a closer look at some of the newest models of caravan and motorhome during the two-day event.

“We are delighted to bring together some of the biggest names in the industry to join us at the show this weekend,” said one of the organisers Michael Haines, of the Shropshire Star.

Other attractions during the weekend include a climbing wall, inflatable golf game and a bouncy castle while Shropshire Fire Service will also be there with a fire engine.

Exhibitors

Local Severn FM radio presenter Shuttsie will be in attendance, socialising with visitors and exhibitors.

Shropshire Star advertisement manager and Shropshire Newspapers director Peter Guy said the show would be without a doubt the biggest and best so far. “Each year the number of exhibitors increases, as do the attendances, which reflects on the commitment from some of the largest companies in Shropshire who are representative of the automotive and leisure industries,” he said.

“The football club is unique in offering an outdoor venue which allows us to provide a first class exhibition with ample free car parking for the local visitors who attend over the two days.”

Admission to the show is free.

Among exhibitors attending are Greehous, William A Lewis, Furrows, Budgen Motors, Salop Leisure and Elcocks Reisen together with Hatfield Jaguar, Lexus and Hyltons.
