ABOUT THIS EVENT

Join us for a huge, free family event at the Quarry to celebrate the Queens
Baton Relay coming to Shrewsbury.

Birmingham 2022 is staging the 16th official Queen’s Baton Relay ahead of the
Commonwealth Games this summer. It is an epic journey across the Commonwealth,
with The Queen’s Baton visiting all 72 nations and territories.

The Relay began on 7 October 2021, with Her Majesty The Queen placing her
Message to the Commonwealth into the Baton. The Baton is now on its 294-day long
journey to every corner of the Commonwealth, and Shrewsbury has the honour of
receiving the baton on 18th July.

To commemorate this once in the lifetime moment for the county, an afternoon of
free celebrations in the town are being organised by Shropshire Council, with
the support of award-winning local events business, Shropshire Festivals.

The Baton will arrive via helicopter at Shrewsbury Sports Village. After a lap
of the track, it will follow a route from Flaxmill Maltings to Shrewsbury
Castle, weaving its way through the town’s historic streets, before taking a
trip along the River Severn on the Sabrina boat and then on a rowing boat from
Pengwern Boat Club, before finally arriving in the Quarry, ready for a
spectacular evening of celebrations.

Schools, sports clubs, arts organisations and local groups from across the
county will be taking part in the festivities, filling the event with community
spirit. Expect dance, arts, music, and sports in celebration of the Commonwealth
and underpinning the values of the games - equality, humanity and destiny.

There will be professional and community performances, hands-on taster sessions
from sports clubs and arts groups, school participation, and community groups,
all coming together to mark this momentous occasion.

Delicious food and drink stands will showcase local suppliers and flavours from
across the Commonwealth. Live music, stunning performances, sporting fun and
jubilations will fill the Quarry park, as the county comes together to rejoice
and recognise this historic occasion.

Join the celebrations in Shrewsbury’s Quarry from 4pm - 9pm on Monday 18th July.
The event is free to attend for all ages, but tickets must be booked in advance
to give us an indication of expected visitor numbers.
