Sunday sees 'The First Lady of Folk', Kate Rusby, take to the Suffolk stage. She is herself celebrating 30 years of touring, the release of a new album as well as over 20 albums and collaborations. The finale will also feature Scottish trio Talisk.

The festival, which has hosted some of the biggest and best UK and international folk and acoustic artists, was founded by John and Becky Marshall-Potter, and began in 2012 in Somerleyton Hall, near Lowestoft, before moving to Glemham Hall estate.

Becky Marshall-Potter said: “We have been lucky enough to have had some amazing artists join us over the years and 2022 will be no exception. This is a line-up that reflects the past 10 years but also looks to the future.

“The past couple of years have been challenging for all festivals and we’re delighted that the support we’ve received has allowed us to keep FolkEast on track with no missed years.

"It’s hard to believe we will be celebrating 10 years of a festival community coming together in a beautiful location where time can seem to stand still - for one weekend at least.”
