Wem is set to be a hub of activity this June, with the local press drawing attention to a couple of delightful forthcoming events. Both promise a chance for the community to come together and enjoy the warmer days of Midsummer.

As reported by the Shropshire Star, Wem is indeed “gearing up” for its annual “Midsummer in Wem” event. This community-focused initiative, supported by local traders and stakeholders, aims to bring a week of cheerful activities to the town. From an “Ice Cream Hunt” and a colouring competition for the younger visitors to a summer raffle and various games at the Wem Town Hall, there seems to be something for everyone. The article particularly highlights the Midsummer Market on Jubilee Square on Saturday, June 21st, and a range of activities at the Town Hall, including classic games and creative endeavours like cupcake decorating.
Many local businesses are also participating with their own special offerings, promising a week of gentle fun and community engagement.
Press Highlights: “Time Travel to 16th Century for Midsummer Supper in Wem”
Another intriguing event making headlines in the Shropshire Star is the Midsummer Supper, presented by the Wem Civic Society. This unique occasion, scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, June 17th, at 7:30 pm at Wem Town Hall, offers a distinctive “time travel” experience. The press notes that attendees can look forward to a five-course tasting menu featuring authentic 16th-century dishes, with a “Tudor Lord” present to share insights into the historical cuisine. The menu itself sounds quite intriguing, with dishes like Green Potage, Macrows, and Minced Pyes. For those with an interest in history and a taste for a different kind of culinary adventure, this supper appears to be a noteworthy local offering.
It’s clear from these press mentions that Wem is looking forward to a pleasant week of Midsummer celebrations, offering both traditional community fun and a unique historical dining experience for residents and visitors alike.
