The Suffolk Villages Festival: An Affectionate Chronicle: The Suffolk Villages Festival, founded in 1988, has been bringing high-quality performances of early music to this rural part for 38 years. To mark its final year, Lyn Rodley has compiled and edited an extraordinary book that chronicles the festival year by year and has many reminiscences and tributes from performers, helpers and audience members. It is available to pre-order above (along with your 2026 Festival Programme), or to buy at the Festival in August; don’t miss your opportunity to acquire a copy.
