'It's a big challenge, but we are determined to maintain the festival's tradition of excellence'
West Norfolk mayor Nick Daubney said: 'The festival is something we can be very proud of. We're good in our borough at bringing business together with the public authorities and with people who are prepared to give this sort of effort and time.
'We really do make good things happen, it's a magnificent programme.'
