A FESTIVAL is coming back to showcase leading performers in a variety of artistic fields.

EA Festival is coming back for its second year to Hedingham Castle.

It is both a live and streamed event showcasing local talent as well as internationally-recognised stars.

Hedingham Castle will be transformed into a bustling festival site, hosting world-class speakers and performers, an art exhibition by Cambridge Art Fair, and outstanding food and drink stalls.

This year’s line-up features experts in literature, fashion, history, art and more.

Speakers taking to the stage include one of the world's best-known wine authors, Hugh Johnson, regional celebrity and former lady-in-waiting Anne Glenconner, and renowned hypnotist and wellness expert Paul McKenna.

In the evening the festival tent will transform into an intimate concert venue.

Saturday will see two virtuoso classical music talents, mezzo-soprano Clare Presland and violinist Elly Suh, perform in a double bill.

On Sunday evening, some of the region’s best up-and-coming indie music singer-songwriters, Bessie Turner, Maya Law, and Mosiah Levi will be performing.

The event is on the weekend of June 11 and June 12, at Castle Hedingham.
