The Red Rooster Festival, East Anglia’s leading roots music event, has announced that live music will be back at Euston Hall in August.

After a difficult start to the year, organisers have now confirmed a strong line-up for the festival which is scheduled to take place over the bank holiday weekend from August 27 to 29, 2021.

Set alongside 300 acres of historical private gardens and rolling Suffolk parkland, designed by Capability Brown and William Kent, Euston Hall plays host to an annual celebration of Americana and roots music including folk, jazz and blues as well as offering great soul food, and a general feel-good atmosphere.
