Last weekend I went to the Ludlow Spring Food & Beer Festival. The small event is set in the grounds of the local castle, which has some beautiful views of the surrounding countryside from the top. The Spring show is mainly focused around a big Beer & Cider tent with a handful of independent and local traders selling homemade deserts, breads, preserves, cheeses and the like, as well as a cooking demonstration tent which is sponsored by the foodie magazine, Olive. It's a much smaller affair than the main Ludlow Food Festival which takes place in September, but it's still a lovely day out and a great way to support local & independent individuals and companies.
