High Road Festival 2023

A Country & Americana music festival with a sprinkling of Folk and Blues. High Road Festival is a new music festival coming to the picturesque village of Great Finborough in support of the Mid Suffolk Voluntary Organisation Forum for Dementia. The event is taking place over two days; Friday 14th July 2023 (6pm to 10:30pm) and Saturday 15th July 2023 (2pm to 10:30pm) with limited ticket availability, so be sure to get yours booked asap. Friday night will be bands and solo artists playing continuous live music to help you unwind at the end of the week whilst Saturday will have even more live music plus family friendly activities from bouncy castle and face painting to roaming performers and rickshaw rides. Great food, drink and a bar will accompany both days, but we also welcome picnics. Denzel the Donkey (a village favourite) will be on hand as our festival mascot! Be sure to get your selfie with him and spread the word with #denzelthedonkey. Follow High Road Festival on Facebook to keep up with the latest news.
