Norbury Canal Festival 2027

Held over the May Day bank holiday weekend, the festival lines both sides of the Shropshire Union Canal at Norbury Junction with historic narrowboats, canal trader boats, stalls, live music and regular boat trips. The event raises funds for the restoration of the Shrewsbury and Newport canals; the 2026 edition ran 2 to 4 May and 2027 dates were unconfirmed at the time of research.
