Taste of East Anglia Food and Drink Festival
Over 100 local food and drink producers and street food traders gather in the grounds of Kentwell Hall in one of Suffolk's finest wool villages for a June celebration of East Anglian produce.
One of the most architecturally loaded villages in England: a vast wool church, two Tudor manor houses, 204 listed buildings, a working craft brewery, and a high street full of antiques dealers and independent cafes make this a genuine destination rather than a passing stop.
