Shropshire Day 2026: Churches along the River Severn set to celebrate like never before
With Shropshire Day fast approaching the county's Lord Lieutenant has announced a first of its kind series of special church services for the occasion along the River Severn.
Each February, the ceremonial county of Shropshire marks Shropshire Day on February 23 - the feast day of Saint Milburga, the county’s patron saint.
This year a special event is being planned to mark the occasion – a multi-location Church of England service spanning the River Severn on Sunday, February 22.
Shropshire is part of both the Diocese of Lichfield - the Northern part of the county including Shrewsbury, and the Diocese of Herefordshire - the southern part of the county, and the service is being arranged to celebrate both dioceses’ link to the county.
