The Shropshire Drama Festival is organised annually in Spring by the Shropshire Drama League. It seeks to showcase the best in amateur theatre from around the county and is an initial round of the All England Theatre Festival . The competition is organised into both adult and youth sections and each competing team presents a one act play. A professional adjudicator from the Guild of Drama Adjudicators judges the teams and announces winners. The winning team is then eligible to represent Shropshire in succeeding rounds of the knockout competition which culminates in the British Final in June.
