More Info

Is Ludlow Food Festival wheelchair friendly?

There is some access. However Ludlow Castle is a medieval outdoor ruin and there will be some areas of the Castle that are inaccessible to wheelchairs, pushchairs, or for people with mobility issues.

Disabled toilets can be found at the Ludlow Spring Festival venue (Ludlow Castle) and also in town, just off the Castle Square.

Is Ludlow Food Festival dog friendly?

Well-behaved dogs, on a lead, are allowed on the Ludlow Castle grounds, but not in any marquee, under marquee cover, or anywhere where food preparation is taking place (except guide dogs). Festival venues other than the Ludlow Food Festival each have their own policy regarding dogs, but of course, food shops do not normally permit dogs to enter.

There are baby changing and feeding facilities available within the festival; these are based within small marquees and contain a table and chairs for your use. There are also a couple of changing mats and a small amount of disposable wipes and nappy bags available for your use, if needed, along with sanitizing gel.
