Festival puts the focus on food
Up to 20,000 people will sample some of the best food and drink delights Shropshire has to offer at this weekend's food festival in Ludlow.
Organisers of the famous event, which runs from tomorrow until Sunday, have this year invited music and comedy acts to entertain the crowds as they tuck into their food.
As many as 1,800 people will visit the town's butchers' shops as they take on the task of munching through the sausage trail.
For the fourth time since the festival opened in 1995, Tyrell's potato and vegetable chip makers will be sponsoring the festivities. They have joined a number of green initiatives at this year's event by offering their products in bags made from potato starch instead of plastic.
