FOODIES and lovers of more spiritual nourishment will run shoulders at the annual "Ledbury Celebration".

Now in its sixth year, the event is a popular part of the Ledbury Poetry Festival, and over 30 food producers will be selling their wares on Sunday, July 12, in Bye Street Car Park and Orme and Slade Car Park, from noon to 6pm.

There will be a full programme of live music and poetry at the two sites, throughout the day.

A spokesman said:"You will be able to buy food and drink, including local beer, ciders, wines and fruit juices, to eat and drink while enjoying the performances, and there will be plenty to choose from to take home to enjoy later.

"Alongside the food, drink, poetry and music, the day is also being visited by two exciting attractions. The Fetch is a touring theatre company producing a highly visual style of theatre incorporating puppetry and mask work. The Fetch dispels the myth that ‘puppetry is for kids’, producing work that engages with audiences of all ages.

"CowGirl Parlour is a sound installation inside a caravan with live outdoor performances and a pop up ice cream parlour. "

Catherine Every of Ledbury Food Group said, “The Ledbury Celebration is in its sixth year and is going from strength to strength because it’s a great day out with something for everyone.

"The Ledbury Celebration is jointly organised by Ledbury Food Group and Ledbury Poetry Festival to celebrate the last day of the Poetry Festival and Ledbury’s super local food and drink."

The event is supported by local businesses and Ledbury Town Council, and entrance will be free.
