June brought more than sunshine to Shifnal Cricket Club this year — it delivered one of the most vibrant community evenings we’ve hosted yet. Our 2026 Street Food Event transformed the ground into a lively hub of flavour, music, and togetherness, drawing club members, families, and visitors from across Shropshire.
From the moment the gates opened, the atmosphere was unmistakably special. The outfield became a festival‑style walkway lined with food stalls, sizzling grills, colourful serving counters, and the unmistakable aroma of world flavours drifting across the ground.
This year’s line‑up brought an exciting mix of cuisines, each offering something different:
Wood‑fired pizzas with blistered crusts and fresh toppings
Loaded burgers stacked high with gourmet fillings
Asian street bowls packed with spice, crunch, and colour
Mexican tacos bursting with flavour
Sweet stalls offering churros, brownies, and ice‑cream treats
Every vendor brought their own flair, and judging by the queues, they were a hit with all ages.
The club bar was open throughout the evening, serving:
Ice‑cold beers
Ciders and summer spritzes
Soft drinks for families and juniors
With tables set out around the pavilion and plenty of space to relax, it became the perfect spot to unwind, chat, and enjoy the warm June weather.
What truly made the event shine was the community spirit. Families spread out picnic blankets, kids played cricket on the outfield, and long‑time members caught up over food and drinks. The event felt like a celebration of everything Shifnal Cricket Club stands for — welcoming, lively, and rooted in bringing people together.
Events like this play a huge role in supporting the club’s ongoing development, from junior programmes to ground improvements. The turnout and enthusiasm were a reminder of how strong and supportive our community is.
To everyone who attended, volunteered, cooked, served, or simply came along to enjoy the evening — thank you. You helped make June 2026 one of our most memorable summer nights yet.
Keep an eye on our website and social channels for updates on upcoming fixtures, family days, and community events throughout the summer.
Shifnal Cricket Club continues to grow, and nights like this show exactly why — great people, great atmosphere, and a shared love of cricket and community.
