Shropshire Festivals Ltd review
Ranked 10 of 10 in Event planners in Telford
Best for: festival-run and corporate event expertise
Active
Trading as Shropshire Festivals Limited · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury
Shropshire Festivals Ltd in short
Shropshire Festivals runs county events including the Shrewsbury Food Festival, Shropshire Oktoberfest, Petal Fields and the Business Festival, and offers corporate events, consultancy and tipi hire from its Buildwas base, with event, contact and ticket routes on the site. It trades as Shropshire Festivals Limited, on the company record since 2016. That record of running real festivals puts Shropshire Festivals tenth in our table.
Shropshire Festivals works from Buildwas, serving Telford and Shrewsbury with its own festivals, corporate events, consultancy and tipi hire. Named events on its books include the Shrewsbury Food Festival and Shropshire Oktoberfest, and the site runs event, contact and ticket routes.
The customer evidence is warm but thin: four and a half on Google from four reviews. Against that, ten years on the company record and a roster of real festivals count in its favour, though neither is a customer verdict. Our review reads this as a proven operator with an unproven review trail: the festivals happened, the feedback is still catching up.
Customer feedback is warm but thin: 4.5 out of 5 on Google. Ten years on the company record count in its favour over newer firms. Tipi hire carries a starting price, but other services show no rates and no insurance is published. Our review rates it a credible big-event pick where the quote must fill in the costs and the cover.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Shropshire Festivals suits you if you want organisers who already run large public events, plus tipi hire and corporate bookings on the same books [1]. Ten years on the company record counts in its favour [2]. The Google set is small at 4.5 from 4 reviews, and insurance goes unstated [3] [1].

Questions about Shropshire Festivals Ltd
Is Shropshire Festivals any good?
Credible for big days: tenth in our Telford event planners table, run by organisers behind real county festivals, with tipi hire and corporate events alongside. The review set is small, so read the evidence carefully. Send your date, venue and guest numbers through the contact route and ask for an itemised quote.
Is Shropshire Festivals registered with a trade scheme?
There is no mandatory register for event planners, and industry qualifications can't be sourced for Shropshire Festivals from the registers, its website or the platforms checked. Ask for the insurance details and the company record together. Get both confirmed in writing before you agree anything. Festival operation answers to licensing and safety law rather than a trade register.
What does Shropshire Festivals charge?
Tipi hire is priced from £1,000 with set-up included; other services carry no rates or quote terms. What you pay turns on guest numbers and hire length. Send your date, venue and guest count, and ask for an itemised fixed quote in writing before you agree anything. Corporate days and consultancy price by brief, so describe the outcome you need.
Where does Shropshire Festivals work?
Shropshire Festivals works from Buildwas, serving Telford and Shrewsbury. Its own festivals, corporate events and tipi hire all run from that base. Send your venue and date through the contact route to confirm you are covered, and ask about setup and staffing terms. Its own festivals draw county-wide, which shows the logistics reach.
How is Shropshire Festivals ranked?
It ranks tenth of the ten event planners in our September round, the pick for festival-run and corporate event expertise, closing the table just below Up, Up & Away. Read the full review, then ask for the itemised quote for your date. Its festival roster is the deepest operating record in the round.
What do customers say about Shropshire Festivals?
Warm but thin: four and a half on Google from four reviews, with no poor review on the record. That cannot evidence big-event competence, so look at the festival roster instead: running county festivals year after year is public proof of delivery. Use the enquiry to connect the roster to your date and guest numbers.
What should I get in writing from Shropshire Festivals?
The itemised fixed quote for your guest numbers and hire length, with setup, staffing and takedown spelled out, plus the insurance position. For outdoor bookings, fix the wet-weather plan and who calls it. Tipi hire carries a starting price, but only the written quote fixes your figure, so hold it before you pay a deposit.
