Ludlow Town Council prepares to welcome back the much-anticipated Ludlow May Fair from Thursday 2nd to Monday 6th of May. The May Fair promises a weekend filled with rides, fair favourites and traditions.

The fair will open for a fun-filled weekend of excitement from Thursday afternoon. One of the favourite traditions is the unique May Fair Sunday service, taking place on the dodgem cars at 11:30 am on Sunday 5th of May. Visitors are invited to attend this special event.

“The May Fair holds a cherished place in Ludlow’s cultural heritage, and we invite residents and visitors alike to come and enjoy this much-anticipated event”.
