Brand new event, Taste of Asia, is coming to Smithy's Bar at Shrewsbury Town Football Club on Sunday 20 September from 12pm till 6pm.

Hosted by the Mayor of Shrewsbury, Councillor Bernie Bentick, Taste of Asia will see a selection of authentic dishes from cuisines across Asia the like of which has never before been seen in a wonderful town. Fancy Thai Tom Yam, a Vietnamese Summer Roll, or a Nepalese curry?

What’s more, Taste of Asia will leave more than a good taste on your palate as it is all in a good cause, with profits from the event going to the Mayor's Charity Appeal, and its four chosen charities for 2026/27: Shropshire Mental Health Support, Lingen Davies Cancer Fund, Shrewsbury Town FC Foundation and Little Stars.

Tickets are just £20 per person, which includes £10 worth of food and drink tokens. But don’t stop there as you can purchase additional tokens at the event, and try dishes from Thai, Vietnamese, Nepalese, Indian, Sri Lankan and Turkish cuisines.

Anyone with specific dietary requirements is asked to make these known when booking their tickets. Where possible alternatives will be provided. The Mayor’s charity team will be working closely with the participating restaurant caterers to ensure all food is clearly labelled for intolerances.

Tickets are available from the Shrewsbury Town Council website here.
