Fairs and festivals bring people from far and wide to come and visit and see all that is on offer, there to meet old friends and make new ones and also have a chance to celebrate. So it was, when Ludlow town first came into being and these occasions were the life blood of the town centre market. These many occasional fairs gave way to more regular fortnightly and weekly markets, so that the only remaining old chartered fair was the 4 or 5 day May Fair on around the 1st May which has now become a pleasure fair. The same traditional need for festivals in the town centre has followed the generations down through the ages as everyone enjoys a good get together. The fairs and festivals we have to day are just a modern day elaboration of these earlier ones, with the same principles of meeting and greeting also sampling and celebrating. Indeed Ludlow has become famous for the festivals that now take place inside the castle walls (it took 8 centuries to get them the other side of the gateway) as well as in the town centre market square. May Day Bank Holiday sees the May Fair in the town centre. This is a pleasure fair with fun for all the family having rides and all the usual side booths together with hot dogs and candy floss. May also is the month for the Marches Transport Festival in the town centre with a full range of all types of vehicles from motor bikes to lorries, vintage through to more modern. June/July brings the Ludlow Festival which stages Shakespeare in Ludlow Castle with other events (classical, literary, and pop) around the town. September this is when the Ludlow Food and Drink Festival take over the Ludlow Castle filling the town with literally 1000s of visitors for the weekend whist it is running. The locals seem to vanish that weekend, meeting up elsewhere I can only imagine. November is cheered up by the arrival of the magical Medieval Christmas Fayre filling the castle with all the goodies you may need very soon for your own perfect celebration of the year.
