Ledbury’s shops, cafes, hotels and pubs are all ready for this week’s Ledbury Big Breakfast, and some are finding different ways of celebrating Ledbury’s breakfast weekend.
The Muse Café is raising money for the Mayor of Ledbury’s charity – running a sealed bid auction for a fabulous umbrella and with a raffle.
Llandinabo Farm Shop and Caffè No 21 will be announcing the winner of the design a sausage campaign on Friday.
Hay Wines are entering the spirit of the event with that most “breakfasty” of drinks – Bucks Fizz.
John Masefield High School staff are sitting down to a special Ledbury Big Breakfast before school on Friday.
Griff Holliday, organiser for Ledbury Food Group said, “It’s great that so many in and around Ledbury are taking part. We hope everybody enjoys at least one breakfast.”
This year’s celebration of English apples, orchards and cider will be based on eight venues in and around Much Marcle. For an afternoon, a day or a full weekend – the Big Apple is a special opportunity to enjoy the autumn countryside on the Marcle Ridge. Laurie Lee first described cider as ‘Golden Fire’ and cidermaking will be in full swing for our local producers, each with their own style, scale and method of production. There will be plenty of opportunities to see cider fruit and perry pears being grown, milled and pressed in different orchard settings, at Woodredding, Avenue Cottage, Westons, Gregg’s Pit and even a travelling horse-drawn press which will be making a visit to Awnells Farm.
