The Harvest Moon Festival will take place on Saturday, August 10 at Beccles Quay, from 12 to 9pm.

This year, organisers have asked festival-goers to not bring in any food or drink into the event due to venue regulations as well as a safety precautions.

Lisa Hampson, one of the Harvest Moon organisers said: "This year no food or alcohol is permitted inside the arena, you're welcome to bring in bottled water, which must be sealed, this can be refilled on site.

"Food can be consumed outside the fenced area, just not in the main arena. We have many affordable food and drink stalls and a fully licensed Bar, for your enjoyment.

We're expecting a full house again this year, so make sure to arrive in good time, with your chairs and blankets to secure your spot and enjoy some great live music, 14 acts will perform over the two stages.
