All the food stalls you can check out at Ludlow Food Festival this weekend
Dozens of stalls will be set up at Ludlow Castle this weekend for the return of the town's food festival.
Local producers showcasing a range of delicious treats, from mac 'n' cheese and chocolate to Caribbean food and wine, will be selling their delicious treats throughout the weekend, alongside some businesses which sell other products that are not edible.
The three-day Ludlow Food Festival begins on Friday, and runs through to Sunday. Gates open at 10am each day, closing at 5pm on Friday, 6.30pm on Saturday and 5pm on Sunday, with last admissions 30 minutes before the day's festivities end.
Thousands of people are expected to appear, including top names such as Kate Humble and Vito Coppola.
The festival highlights the Marches region's rich heritage of great food and drink and visitors can explore a broad range of exhibitors, stock up on ingredients and take inspiration from the industry experts.
The event is also hosting the inaugural British Fire Cooking Championships in association with Kadai Firebowls and Love Logs, which sees contestants tackle a series themed cooking challenges.
Bake Off fans are also in for a sweet treat with the return of the hugely popular ‘Bake in Time’ - which brings fun interactive sessions with Great British Bake Off favourites including Sandy Docherty and local bakers.
But those those wanting to enjoy the tastes of the festival, here are the stalls to look out for over the weekend.
