Woodbridge's Spirit of Place festival kicked off with a whole host of live music and arts this weekend.

The event, which was delayed several times due to the coronavirus crisis, is part of a month-long festival focusing on different spirits and celebrating art, music and culture.

"It was absolutely wonderful," said organiser Jan Pulsford.

"It was fully sold out and everybody had a good time.

"I've had lots of good feedback."

Ms Pulsford said she was incredibly grateful to the Angel pub in Woodbridge, which agreed to host the event when the government decided against easing Covid restrictions.

The event had been due to take place at the Longshed.
