The Queen Consort will be heading to The Farmers Market in Shrewsbury's Square before visiting Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings – the home of the grandfather of the modern skyscraper.
Her Majesty is the latest member of the royal family to visit the county town, which has welcomed numerous royals over the past century.
Reigning monarchs to visit include King George V and Queen Elizabeth II, while other royals such as the future King Edward VII and future King Charles III have also been welcomed when they held the title of Prince of Wales and were heir to the throne.
Two other Queen Consorts - Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother - have also come to the town.
We've put together a few photos of previous royal visits to Shrewsbury, with some dating back more than 100 years.
