Flaxmill Fridays – Late Night Opening

  • Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings (map)

A special Flaxmill Friday for the launch night of ‘Special Exhibition – Shrewsbury’s Canal Heritage’ which is opening in The Dye House opposite us at Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings

More about this Flaxmill Friday at Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings:

With the upcoming focus on the Shrewsbury to Newport Canal, Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings is delighted to welcome two unique bands.

The Shropshire Boatmen are a five strong band who specialise in the shanty style of singing, both sea shanties and canal songs, including their self-penned work.

Mice in a Matchbox, a lively acoustic duo who take traditional and modern folk tunes and some classic well known favourites, as well as original material, and deliver them with their own foot tapping arrangements.

  • Turned Wood Café will be serving their evening menu including alcoholic beverages from 5pm.

  • The bands will be performing live in Turned Wood Café from 7pm to 9pm.

  • You can also visit The Mill exhibition free of charge from 7pm to 8pm.  Learn all about the internationally significant site, the building that launched a thousand skylines.

This is not a ticketed event, nor do we take table reservations. All are welcome; first come, first served (to remain fair to all!)
