I felt I had to write to congratulate the organisers of Ludlow Arts Festival. The events were so varied; there genuinely was something for everyone. The big top was beautifully presented and perfect if the weather was unkind, all volunteers were upbeat and friendly and the events I attended were of superb quality.

I thought the live music provided in the entrance to the big top pre-show was a wonderful idea, and really helped get the crowds in the spirit. In fact, Gary Fannin, a performer from the excellent Reduced Shakespeare Company said: “Knew it was going to be a rocking show. The audience was screaming before pre-show music finished.” The fireworks were spectacular too, and great to split them over two nights.

So to all who stepped up to the plate and put on this fantastic event, thank you! I’m very much looking forward to Ludlow Arts Festival 2014!
