Ludlow Winter Festival
A makers market, castle light trail and a young farmers tractor run kick off Christmas in one of England's finest medieval food towns.
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.
