Telford mini-golf course's World Cup fan zone hotting up for England semi-final clash with Argentina
Hosted at Putt Putt Social in Southwater, the fan zone has become a focal point for tournament fans
England fans across Shropshire are being invited to watch the Three Lions' World Cup semi-final against Argentina on Wednesday night (July 15) alongside friends, family and fellow supporters at a Telford World Cup fan zone.
Hosted at Putt Putt Social in Southwater, the fan zone has become a focal point for football fans throughout the tournament, with hundreds of supporters gathering to cheer on England on the venue's giant screen.

With kick off at 8pm, organisers are expecting one of their busiest nights of the tournament as England bid to book a place in the World Cup final.
A spokesperson for the Telford World Cup Fan Zone said: "You don't get many nights like this. A World Cup semi-final is something supporters dream about and there's no better way to experience it than surrounded by fellow England fans.
"We've had an incredible atmosphere throughout the tournament and Wednesday promises to be our biggest night yet. Whether you've watched every match with us or are joining us for the first time, we're looking forward to welcoming fans for what could be another unforgettable night."
The fan zone combines a giant screen with food, drinks and live entertainment, giving supporters the chance to experience the match together rather than watching at home.
Tickets for the semi-final are priced at £5. Seating and viewing spots will be available on a first come, first served basis, so supporters are encouraged to arrive early. The event is strictly for over-18s only.
Organisers have also launched ‘believer tickets’ for a potential World Cup final. Fans can secure their place for £5 before the outcome of the semi-final is known. Should England beat Argentina and reach Sunday's final, ticket prices for the final screening will increase, meaning supporters who take the leap of faith will guarantee their place at the lowest available price.
The spokesperson added: "Do you believe? We're one game away from a World Cup final and we know supporters will want to be part of it if England get there. Rather than asking fans to wait until after the semi-final, we're giving them the chance to secure their place now before demand inevitably rises."
Tickets for the semi-final and ‘believer tickets’ for a potential World Cup final are available now at www.telfordworldcupfanzone.co.uk
