Always a highlight of the summer this years Ludlow Festival features a performance of Shakespeare's Richard II. The play will be directed by Steven Berkoff and will be performed in the open air in Ludlow Castle. This magnificent setting adds immensely to any production and it really is a never to be forgotten experience. Also featuring in the programme of events are street festivals on each of the Saturdays of the Festival, wine tasting, lunchtime concerts as well as talks and exhibitions.

Well that is it for another month. Summer is at last here and the county is bursting with exciting and stimulating events. Don't forget however that the county also offers peace and tranquility for those who value relaxation but wherever you are in the county there will always be something interesting going on.
