Thanks to everyone who contributed in any way to the Ledbury Celebration on the last day of Ledbury Poetry Festival on Sunday 6th July.
Despite occasional showers, we enjoyed a happy day in unusually temperate temperatures for early July featuring poetry, music, dance, heritage and, of course local food and drink. Attendance was better than last year – so thanks to all who came to the event – it all contributes for a good show.
The partner organisers – the Ledbury Food Group, Ledbury Poetry and Ledbury Town Council – are taking stock of this year’s event to see what could be done better next time. If you have any thoughts, please let us know at ask@ledburyfoodgroup.org.
Events like this can only take place with the support of a group of volunteers willing to help with setting up the event, stewarding and dismantling. If you would like to help us in future or just know more about what may be involved, please contact us at ask@ledburyfoodgroup.org. This year a team from the Town council did a splendid job getting and keeping the show on the road – but we need more help!
The next Ledbury Celebration is set provisionally for the last day of the 2026 Ledbury Poetry Festival – Sunday 28th June. This all depends on finding funding to cover the cost of this free to all event. This year this was possible with the costs being met by the event’s three partners.
We are looking at other food related events – including an event to consider the impact of food production on the natural environment including our rivers and what may be the best practice. A date for your diary is the next Ledbury Big Breakfast which will take place on the weekend of 6th, 7th and 8th February 2026.
Do you want us to continue to bring you details of local food related events?
If not let us know by email to at ask@ledburyfoodgroup.org.
