Bewdley Festival Soup Trail tickets go on sale from the Bewdley Farm Shop soon. They can only be bought in person for cash ( correct change please ) 150 will go on sale at 9am on Saturday 19th September and a further 150 will go on sale a week later at 9am on Saturday 26 September. The tickets act as your visa to the soups and double up as your voting form so keep them safe. This event usually sells out so watch out for bots trying to sell bogus tickets on social media if it does sell out as in previous years people have been caught out.

This is a fantastic event and we’d like to thank all the venues for supporting us with their soups which they provide for free and to the farm shop for selling tickets . 🥣🙌🍁

Martin Wall gave a captivating talk at the Bewdley Festival in 2024 after a personal recommendation from Robert Plant who described his book ‘The Magical History of Britain’ as a ‘remarkable book’ and ‘an inspiration from the heart of the Shire’.
Very sadly his health is declining and this is likely to be his final performance in Ludlow. Ticket info in the image.

We were sad to say goodbye to the Bewdley Bear last week as he made his way from George’s Hall to his new foster home at Medical Centre . But we are delighted that he will be seen and admired by the people of Bewdley in his new home on the first floor… If you are in the Medical Centre pop up to see him and why not enter our poetry competition that was created to pay tribute to his designer Betti Moretti 💕 there are lots of prizes to be won and categories for every age – visit https://bewdleyfestival.org.uk/BewdleyArtsFestival.dll/Page?p=57921&m=m&sp=241429
