A huge thank you to everyone who supported last Sunday’s special Car Boot Sale in memory of Jan Robey.

It was a fantastic morning at West Mid Showground, with more than 185 sellers and hundreds of buyers coming along and helping to raise an incredible £1,285 for Severn Hospice

We’re particularly grateful to everyone who generously donated over and above what was expected. Your kindness helped make the total even more special and was a wonderful tribute to Jan.

Our Car Boot team would like to say a heartfelt thank you to each and every person who came along, donated and supported the day.

This Sunday’s Car Boot Sale here at the showground will be a particularly special one, held in memory of our much-loved friend and volunteer, Jan Robey.

As we recently shared, Jan sadly passed away last month, just weeks after once again giving her time to help at our Shropshire County Show.

Jan’s friends Jane and Ryan Jervis, who manage our Car Boot Sale, have decided that all proceeds and takings from this Sunday will be donated to Severn Hospice in Jan’s honour.

The team at Severn Hospice in Bicton Heath provided Jan and her family with outstanding care and support during her final days, and we hope Sunday will be a fitting way to remember Jan while raising funds for such an important local charity.

Everyone at the showground and the Shropshire & West Midlands Agricultural Society is proud to support Jane and Ryan’s wonderful gesture in memory of a very special friend and volunteer.

Whether you’re buying, selling or simply coming along to show your support, we’d love to see you this Sunday. ❤️

We love that our showground is so versatile. One week we are hosting an agricultural show, then a car boot sale, then a half-marathon...

And then, on August bank holiday weekend we become the home of Shrewsbury Folk Festival!

If you don't already know, Shrewsbury Folk Festival is a truly incredible folk festival - one of the top in the UK and attracts thousands of music fans every year.
