SUN 25TH @ 4PM
The Beautiful, the Handsome and the absolute Heavenly Sounds of Dave Luke & Chuck Micallef. I know I don't need to big this duo up as you all know them as amazing friends of the pub, but that also means you already know what an incredible show of sound these guys put on. Truly a special Sunday afternoon guaranteed.

The Pale Ale isn't just a core product to us, it's an absolute staple of the estate. Cask b**rs are as much a part of our British identity as the double-decker Route Master, or dodgy Ford Capri, and deserve to be celebrated. Whether your cask journey started elsewhere or if it began sat by the fire right in your local Joule's tap, there's one thing for certain with us at the Dolphin now more than ever as we have the flames roaring once again;

By Joule's it's Good.

UNREAL scenes yesterday, a massive thanks to Shrewsbury Acoustic Musicians Flash Mob and Andy O'Brien for what can't be denied one of the best nights we've had, my dad had the best day, lots of love in the building.

Our weekend of music doesn't stop there, what more of a perfect way to cure those heads than to sink a naughty Sunday Green Monkey and open the ears to Ron Sings the Classics to get you cosy and refreshed for Monday Morning?

By Joule's it's Good!

PAPA LANCE'S BIG BASH // FROM 4PM
MiniFlash Mob throughout the afternoon followed by ANDY O'BRIEN @ 7:30PM

Mini buffet and party snacks provided, come help me celebrate the man who really does go above and beyond for me. There's so much that goes on behind the scenes that often really get on top of me, and this man is always there helping me out and loosening my load. The least I can do is let him have a party for his birthday, right?

LIVE MUSIC // TODAY FROM 3PM

Get yourself down to ours for a fresh Sunday Green Monkey, get cosy and open your ears to the brilliant Acoustic Musicians Flash Mob. Not only will they be pumping out some excellent tunage, but they're always more than welcoming to new folk coming down and getting stuck in with them! As I always say, this is always a very special day in the month.

There's also a special birthday boy in the group that we would love everyone to come down and show their support to 👀

DEAD ELVIS + DRAVE
TONIGHT // FROM 9PM
2x Bands, on a Wednesday?

Are you mad Coby? Seriously, both these sets are ace. This will be a proper little intimate gig and will be a brilliant atmosphere. Not something we'd usually arrange for a Wednesday, but as I'm leaving in three months I think I'm allowed to get away with ideas of the avant garde~ variety.
