Hi,

Festival Too rounds off a fortnight of free music on the Tuesday Market Place this Saturday — The Proclaimers headlining the grand finale. There's street entertainment through the day, the Sunday bandstand's back in The Walks, and the King's Lynn Festival proper opens next weekend. A proper summer weekend in Lynn.

Have a good one.
