Laura’s Tower, Shrewsbury Castle & Soldiers of Shropshire Museum – Heritage Open Days

Heritage Open Days 10th September

Shrewsbury Castle & The Soldiers of Shropshire Museum  

To celebrate this year’s HOD, on Sunday 10th September, we will be unlocking and opening the doors to Laura’s Tower with a rare chance to get a glimpse of original late 18^th century decoration built by Thomas Telford to the designs of Robert Adams.

Situated in the heart of Shropshire’s County town, step back in time as you experience the Castle’s rich, 1000-year history. Within Shrewsbury Castle, explore the county’s finest regimental collection of the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry dating back to the formation of 53^rd (Shropshire) Regiment in 1755 and the 85^th Light Infantry in 1759.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll within Shrewsbury Castle’s award-winning grounds and climb the fairy-tale steps up to Laura’s Tower which provides spectacular views of Shrewsbury and the rolling Shropshire hills.

Within the Castle grounds there will be regency music and dancing by the Gracechurch Historical Dancers and there will also be FREE admission into Shrewsbury Castle.
