LUDLOW'S Local Produce Market has celebrated its 15th birthday.

The mayor of Ludlow, Councillor Paul Draper, was on hand to cut the cake as the town’s twice monthly local produce market held its special anniversary.

It celebrated the occasion in the market square where customers and guests joined organisers for tea and cake from midday.

The Local Produce Market packs Castle Square with fresh local food and drink every second and fourth Thursday of the month.

Tish Dockerty, the market manager, says keeping the market produce local is important to its success.
