What's on in Oakengates

Shropshire, England

Oakengates sits quietly in Shropshire, a perfect place to escape the rush and find what's on without hunting through a dozen websites. The Wakes has been keeping things lively for years, hosting gigs that turn ordinary evenings into proper nights out. Not bad for a Tuesday. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting around these parts. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
