The Local to Ludlow campaign promotes food and drink produced within 30 miles of Ludlow. Our aim is to reduce the environmental cost of food production and to support the local food economy.

Welcome to Local to Ludlow

The Local to Ludlow Producer’s Market takes place from 9am to 2pm every 2nd and 4th Thursday throughout the year on Castle Square, the traditional marketplace in the centre of Ludlow. We are a real farmers’ market with fresh food and drink, art, craft and plants all produced within 30 miles of Ludlow. All stallholders are producers of the product they sell on the market.

The market has over forty stalls, including: fresh locally grown vegetables, fungi and fruit; fresh meat and charcuterie; eggs, cheese and dairy; chocolate, cakes and bread; condiments, preserves and honey; spirits, apple juice and cider; coffee and blended teas; food to go such as pies and scotch eggs, speciality cuisine including Asian and European, plant based foods; as well as hot food stalls.

To complement this we have artists and craftspeople, natural health and sustainable beeswax products, jewellery, ceramics, alpaca wool and products, hand-carved wooden products with flowers and plants in season.

What we do...

  • We organise the Local to Ludlow Producers’ Market, a farmers' market selling a wide variety of locally produced food, drink and craft every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month from 9am to 2pm on Castle Square, Ludlow.

STALLHOLDER SPOTLIGHT: We continue to get to know some of our amazing producers. Meet Jules Avery, a ceramicist of extraordinary talent!Hi I'm Jules and I've been making and selling my pottery on the Local to Ludlow market since 2021 and have made many market friends, both stall holders and customers, a bonus on wet, cold and windy days.I enjoy what I do as it gives me the freedom to make what I want and it's lovely to see my pots bring joy to the people that buy them. All my pots are unique, no two ever the same.The wonderful thing about ceramics is often its downfall, the unpredictability, never really knowing what it will look like until after it's been fired. There can often be disappointment but also lovely surprises, a little like Christmas every time I open the kiln. Recently, I have started a new venture on my market stall and I am now selling clothes, new and secondhand, but all with a little of my handiwork added to make them unique. ... See MoreSee Less
