The last time Steeleye played Shrewsbury was in 2022 but they have never played the Abbey. Shrewsbury Abbey is just the perfect venue to visit on their current tour - a unique and iconic group performing in a unique and historic place. Do not delay booking your seats! Be in no doubt, this is the real Steeleye Span with Maddy Prior, not a tribute! Doors: 18:30 Show: 19:30 Licensed bar & Coffee bar FREE PARKING AFTER 6PM ON ABBEY FOREGATE CAR PARK - https://next.shropshire.gov.uk/parking/find-my-nearest-car-park/shrewsbury-abbey-foregate/ Together for 56 years now, Steeleye Span changed the face of folk music forever by taking it into the world of gold discs and international tours. Now they return with Conflict, their first full studio album in over five years. All traditional singers have sung modern and self-composed pieces alongside old songs, Conflict is an album that follows in that very tradition. The album’s title was chosen as much to reflect the times we find ourselves in, but also the stretch and tear of our relationship with this planet that hosts us. The band will undertake a full UK tour in support, their first live dates of the year. As ever – and with such a rich history to choose from…

North Wales Opera returns to its Shrewsbury ‘home’ to present Verdi’s Rigoletto. The Abbey will be transformed with a raised platform and expert lighting to create intense drama accompanied by talented singers and Shrewsbury’s very own Ensemble SY1 live orchestra. This is one of the most famous operas with melodies you will instantly recognise. From the fireworks of Gilda’s Caro Nome to the greatly recognised La donna è mobile! Like many of its class, this opera can be expressed in a few sentences and is likely the best to express the potency of rueful karma and the underbelly of schadenfreude. Under the proven leadership and artistry of international soprano Anne Williams-King and her team, North Wales Opera add this opera to their repertoire.
