Freshly reimagined theatre…
Who Wears the Trousers?
Weds 12th to Sat 15th August 2026
7.00pm
Wendy’s got a new job in Ed Walters' Ludlow Trouser Factory. The pay’s good and the future looks bright. She’s set to marry Dennis, but how will the happy couple cope as Wendy’s wages outstrip his and she wants to buy a new bungalow on Sheet Road?
This new musical play follows the lives of the young lovers and those of the people involved with Ed Walters' game-changing business that from the 50s to the 90s made Ludlow "the trouser capital of Europe".

Sharp Objects: A Rickards Fairytale
Weds 26th to Fri 28th August 2026
6.00pm
Rickards Ironmonger’s shop in Ludlow has been in business for generations…until recently.
Now closed, the building is steeped in history - infused into the damp, graffitied plaster, peeling wallpaper and scattered objects; all left behind as the shop doorbell rang its last.
Two photographs of the same shopworker, fifty years apart, discovered on a dusty shelf, have inspired a fairytale of the loves and lives haunting the premises, all too soon to be swept away for ever.
