Families looking for things to do around Oswestry and the border area have a range of events to choose from throughout October, from heritage weekends and seasonal trails to community markets and sporting events.
The month begins with Oswestry Apple Day at Bailey Head on Saturday, October 3. The event is set to bring visitors into the town centre as autumn gets under way.
Also on October 3 and 4, Whittington Castle will host its 1940s Living History Weekend. Running from 10am to 4pm, the two-day event will offer a chance to step back in time with living history displays.
