Ludlow Craft & Country Market
A monthly Sunday market in Ludlow's Castle Square blending local crafts, country produce and artisan goods in the shadow of one of the most complete medieval streetscapes in England.
Ludlow is one of England's most complete market towns: a medieval street plan, over 500 listed buildings, a thriving multi-day market, award-winning food and drink at every turn, and a railway station that makes it reachable without a car - there is almost nothing it lacks.
