A youth festival attracted more than 300 visitors for a lively day of free entertainment, creative activities and community engagement.
Organised by Ludlow Town Council, the event took place on Thursday, July 30, at the Wheeler Road Recreation Area.
It drew a large crowd of young people, families and residents who took part in a full programme of activities throughout the day.
The festival was split into different themed zones, offering something for everyone and creating what organisers described as a “vibrant and welcoming atmosphere".
Among the most popular attractions were a pump track, gaming van, bouncy castle, crafting activities, and a raffle.
Younger children enjoyed a teddy bears’ picnic, while refreshment options included food from Pizza Girls and Noba Kitchen.
Ludlow Town Council extended its thanks to all the partners, volunteers and community organisations who made the day possible.
These included Ludlow Assembly Rooms, Pentabus, Future Sound, Ludlow Air Cadets and Ludlow Rotary Club.
The town clerk said: "We are thrilled with the response to Ludlow’s Youth Festival.
"Seeing over 300 attendees enjoying such a wide range of activities shows just how much potential there is for youth-focused events in our town.
"This festival was built on partnership, creativity and community spirit, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed.
"As we continue looking after Ludlow’s future, we hope this becomes a regular event that grows year by year and gives our young people a space to shine."
Other highlights from the day included an energising soundtrack from Sunshine Radio and a live performance by Macy O.
The creative zone was brought to life with help from the Ludlow Assembly Rooms team and Pentabus.
To help improve future events, Ludlow Town Council is encouraging attendees to complete a feedback survey and share their thoughts.
Organisers said they hope the Youth Festival will now become a regular fixture in Ludlow’s events calendar, giving young people opportunities to get involved, be creative and have fun.
