We’re excited by this event, we think its pretty unique. Join our Shift Time entomologist (insect lover for those who haven’t swallowed a dictionary for breakfast) on a ramble into the exact same meadow that the young Charles Darwin explored on his nature hunts. We can’t promise that you’ll go on to discover anything half as important as EVOLUTION, but that’s not the point really is it.

Highlights & News

The Shift-Time Blogging Project

Alongside the main Shift-Time Festival we're running a project to get Shrewsbury and the surrounding area blogging. We want people to use the festival to experiment with all sorts of "social media" services, including weblogs, photo and video sharing sites. The end result, we hope, is to give Shrewsbury the tools to talk to itself about things that matter, whatever they may be.
