A TASTY recipe of activities is being served up at the 20th annual Ludlow Food Festival.

The three day event kicked off yesterday and continues today and Sunday.

More than 180 artisan food producers are present at Ludlow Castle and are joined by a host of top chefs and experts with dozens of free demonstrations on the two main stages.

Master classes and taste workshops are giving visitors the opportunity to get hands on, savour tutored tastings and unlock the secrets of specific ingredients.

There is also a special kid’s area with cookery lessons, storytelling and a fun quiz bases on the food festival.

There are also the popular sausage, ale and bread trails taking place around Ludlow, along with the pudding tasting and the Sunday producers market.
