What's going on?
There are so many interesting things to do in our area that it is difficult for our members to keep abreast of what is going on. The big local places and events are well known, but here is information on some of the less high-profile but equally enjoyable things to do and see in and around Ludlow. Information on most of these will be on or by the noticeboard at the institute’s monthly meetings.
We will keep adding to this list as events come and go, so keep re-visiting this page!
