The Ludlow Makers Market returns, set to become an ultimate destination for craft lovers this summer.
Running every Tuesday from 5th to 26th August from 9am to 4pm, this vibrant market showcases 40+ local artists, crafters, designers, and artisan makers. So, if you love handmade treasures, delicious hot food, and live music, this is the place to be – for both locals and visitors alike.
In its fifth year, the free-to-attend Makers Market is organised by the Ludlow Chamber of Commerce – designed to showcase and celebrate the talent within the local area.
Explore the best of Ludlow’s creative scene in the heart of the town. It’s a fantastic way to introduce your kids to the joy of making something with their own hands or rekindling your love of crafts with a unique souvenir, all while soaking up the charm of Ludlow’s historic Castle Square.
Ludlow’s rich history as a market town dates back over 700 years, and it’s easy to see why this charming town has remained a hub for commerce and trade for so long.
Today, Ludlow continues its proud tradition of showcasing local produce and craftsmanship, with farmers, growers, and artisans from Shropshire, Powys, and Herefordshire. This traditional open-air market, managed by Ludlow Town Council, takes place every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday – with special additions and events also popping up throughout the year.
Immerse yourself in Shropshire’s countryside charm, pairing a day out at the Makers Market with a stay at Orleton Rise Holiday Park. After a day of shopping and exploring, retreat to the peaceful escape and relax in the comfort of your cosy holiday home.
Castle Square is less than 10 miles from Orleton Rise, with plenty of parking options available in the town centre and frequent public transport options available too.
So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay today and make your August a whole lot more memorable with some fun, family-friendly market magic.
