3. Easter Saturday, 30th March 2024 brings the popular Street Circus back to Oswestry.
It’s the third time this wacky event has been in town and we love it! Watch out for some crazy supermarket trolleys careering down the high street, be a part of performance on the market square and maybe try your hand at plate spinning!
4. It’s full steam ahead as our heritage railways get going again.
