Where did it all begin?

The idea was simple yet revolutionary - to create a festival that would showcase the area's small food and drink producers while inviting visitors to explore Ludlow's rich array of shops, restaurants, and pubs. The gamble paid off, as the festival quickly became a must-visit event for food lovers across the nation.

​

As the festival celebrates its 30th year, we are filled with anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead. The Ludlow Marches Food & Drink Festival has always been more than just an event; it's a community, a movement, and a testament to the power of collective passion for food and drink.
