Taste, tunes, and Tudor walls — Ludlow Spring Festival is a brilliant day out set inside the atmospheric grounds of Ludlow Castle. Expect award-winning food and drink producers, a huge real ale and cider showcase, chef demos, talks, and tastings, plus live music that keeps the vibe buzzing all day. Wander the stalls for charcuterie, cheeses, bakes, and street food, then step onto the castle walls for big Shropshire views. There’s plenty beyond the plates too: classic car displays, workshops, family activities, and time to dip into Ludlow’s handsome market town — black-and-white streets, indie shops, and cosy pubs galore. With a comfy coach there and back, you can relax, sample freely, and make a festival of spring.
