Ludlow Market, situated in the historic heart of Ludlow beneath Ludlow Castle, has been recognised in the Great British Market Awards 2027. The market, a distinctive community space in Shropshire, brings together local traders, makers, growers, and families in a welcoming environment.
Regular markets are held every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, offering a variety of fresh produce, handmade goods, artisan foods, and crafts. The market also hosts specialist events, including the Town Council’s Food and Craft Market and Craft and Country Market, which support local businesses and young entrepreneurs.
Third-party markets include the Antiques Market on the first and third Sunday of each month, and the independently managed Local to Ludlow Producers’ Market, which champions local growers and sustainable produce. This producers' market has been shortlisted as a Farmers’ Market of the Year Finalist 2027.
Seasonal highlights such as the Halloween Market, Christmas Market, Mayor’s Charity Market, Tinsel Tuesdays, and Makers Markets contribute to a year-round calendar of community celebrations, drawing visitors from across Shropshire and beyond.
Public voting is now open until 11 December. Ludlow Town Council is urging residents, visitors, and supporters to cast their vote for Ludlow Market as Britain’s Favourite Market to highlight the community pride in the historic market.
