Each August for more than a century the Show has been held in the picturesque setting of Shrewsbury's beautiful 29-acre Quarry Park, with its magnificent sunken gardens, known as The Dingle, providing a colourful centrepiece which brings gasps of admiration and delight from up to 75,000 visitors to the Show each year. The beauty of the natural park makes it a show within a show, a fitting location for one of the top competitive and decorative horticultural displays staged anywhere.

The show has been recognised by Guinness World Records as the world's longest running horticultural show. The first show was held in Shrewsbury’s Quarry Park in July 1875.
