New pop-up event series announced to fundraise for women’s charity
A new annual pop-up event series, Side Dish, is coming to Birmingham from 2 to 5 February -bringing together local food venues, live comedy and fundraising for a Birmingham charity during a traditionally quieter period for hospitality.
Taking place across four nights, Side Dish transforms local restaurants, pizzerias and casual dining venues into warm, social nights out where a curated menu is paired with a surprise comedy moment woven into the evening.
Funds raised through ticket sales will support Anawim, a Birmingham-based charity working with women facing poverty, abuse and homelessness, providing long-term support and practical help to rebuild lives.
In Birmingham, Side Dish events will take place at venues including Tiger Bites Pig, Txikiteo and The Button Factory, with more locations to be announced.
Each night is designed as a warm, social way to support local hospitality during a quieter winter period.
Dominic Mills, founder of Yuup, who are producing the series said: “Side Dish is about creating moments that matter locally.
“By fundraising for Anawim, the Birmingham programme supports local venues while helping fund vital work with women across the city.”
Side Dish events will run in Birmingham from 2–5 February, with tickets now on sale via Yuup and limited availability at each venue.
