Winter’s Day Out

Each year, Sight Loss Shropshire holds a day of celebration to which all visually impaired people in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin are welcome.  The event is held at the Shrewsbury Town Football Club.

Our popular Winter’s Day Out is usually held at the end of January. If you are a corporate organisation or business and would like to sponsor this greatly appreciated event, please get in touch with Sight Loss Shropshire on 07778 956096 or email us at admin@sightlossshropshire.org.uk

Coffee is served on arrival, followed by entertainment, a delicious buffet lunch and more entertainment in the afternoon. Tickets for the event are numbered and the day ends with a raffle and tea.
