This year Ludlow Food Festival, the original festival for food and drink lovers, celebrates its 25th anniversary with a feast of mouth-watering events in the picturesque mediaeval town this September. Taking part in the event, which claims to be the country’s first food festival, over 140 food and drink producers will deliver cooking demonstrations, sausage, bread and ale trails, inside Ludlow Castle and around the streets. The foodie fun runs from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 September free.
There will be superstar chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants, including vegetarian and vegan, award and scholarship winners, plus award-winning food historians. The restaurants sending representatives include River Cottage, Cabritto Goat, Gridiron and Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner. And to top all off, on the popular fire kitchen stage, there will be five of the best live-fire cooking demos around.
