The Ludlow Spring Event

[Derek]

We organised a 51 seater coach for a Folk Club outing to the Ludlow Spring Event. Yesterday was the day. Ludlow is a fab oldi world town on the Welsh English border. The town is great just to wander around, but also yesterday in the castle grounds was the Spring Event ... a beer festival, food festival , craft festival and lots of music. We had a full bus. So here are some pics from the trip.
It was a glorious morning to wake up to .. the church at the back of our place ..




The coach turned up early and so did some of the revellers


We set off bout 8.30am

[Derek]

In just under 2 hours we were there en mass and heading for the little streets

[Derek]

A coffee and some liquid refreshment was in order before we headed to the castle




Then we headed to the castle

[Derek]

Then we headed in to the festival. The clouds over came but it did not rain thankfully.






Then we spotted a few from our folk club already settled in




So we headed to the same place

[Derek]

The bar. There was over 100 real ales and 40 Ciders.






Outside was this lady explaining and selling herbal medicine


We had a few more beers and then left the castle

[Derek]

Some more little streets and alley ways which always led to little pubs ... we didnt try them by the way






Then we were back in the coach and heading to the Skirrid Inn for a little bevy and folk session on the way home. The Skirrid is the oldest pub in Wales. We went through some lovely villages and the coach was a very happy coach

[Derek]

Then we were at the Skirrid and started to Party again




Then we got out a few insruments and struck up a bit o music and had a great little session

[Derek]

Then we were back on the bus home and all the girls were in very high spirits and leading a bus sing song ...




Thats it .... yet again there was only one Cilt on the bus and in Ludlow as far as I was aware ...

Great pictures Derek.

Although I have been on the bypass many times I still haven't managed it into the town itself. Thanks for the taster!
