Where:

Friday Fire Night Party - Inner Bailey

When:

11th September 2026
6:30 pm to 10:00 pm

WHEN THE FESTIVAL CLOSES… THE CASTLE FIRES UP.
As the sun goes down over Ludlow Castle, the gates to the Inner Bailey will reopen for one unforgettable night of fire, food, drinks and unforgettable music.

THE FIRE PITS WILL BE BLAZING - Kadai fire pits will light up the Inner Bailey, filling the castle with flickering flames, warmth and that unmistakable smell of woodsmoke (subject to Government Guidelines).

COME HUNGRY - Grab something delicious from our specially selected street-food traders and settle in around the fire with friends.

GRAB A DRINK - The Ludlow Brewery Bar will be pouring throughout the evening, with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available.

ENJOY LIVE MUSIC - We’re turning up the volume from the moment the gates open.

Kicking off your Friday night with our DJs, setting the soundtrack as the sun goes down, the drinks start flowing and the fire pits begin to blaze.

Then it’s time for live music to take over, building the atmosphere as darkness falls across the castle and for the finale…

CALL OF THE KRAKEN 
We’re closing the Fire Night Party in style as Call of the Kraken take to the stage for our headline set!

Expect big tunes, huge energy and an electric atmosphere as they bring the night to a spectacular close, with the fires blazing and the historic walls of Ludlow Castle providing one incredible backdrop.

This isn’t just another Friday night … ITS THE FRIDAY NIGHT FIRE PARTY YOU WONT WANT TO MISS
Round up your friends, grab a drink and join us around the fire.
