On the 5th of July 2026, Ellie joined residents and visitors at the annual Ledbury Celebration Day, a vibrant event that brings people together for a day of delicious food, live music, poetry performances and children’s activities. The celebration was held in the historic site of St Katherine’s, which features a beautiful medieval hall, a chapel and an open courtyard- the perfect venue for this community gathering and showcasing the very best of Herefordshire’s local talent and produce. Ellie spent the day enjoying what Herefordshire locals had to offer and speaking with local business owners, producers, volunteers and attendees. Over the course of the event, she recognised that events like this are incredibly important for supporting small businesses and strengthening community connections. Ledbury Celebration Day will continue to be a much-loved event, offering a welcoming space for people to celebrate the town and its residents.
