The not-for-profit and community run festival will host a range of events in parks and public squares as well as projections onto the Tide Mill and other historic buildings.

The Woodbridge Festival of Art and Music has been recognised by East Suffolk Awards as a large part of the site is devoted to an eco-zone.
