A town festival known for introducing the public to new artists and genres will be returning to Suffolk with a DJ set at one of the England's oldest pubs.
Woodbridge Festival of Art and Music will be holding a pre festival party at Ye Olde Bell and Steelyard, in New Street in Woodbridge, on Saturday, August 17.
The venue is listed as dating back to the 16th century, but is thought to be even older.
It is currently run by local brothers Matt and Dan Smith and is said to be the 12th oldest in England.
