Welcome to our seventh Summer Festival. We hope to meet you at some of our events. We are grateful to all our volunteers and to our sponsors, whose generosity enables us to keep ticket prices affordable for everyone. Don't miss Framlingham Art Society's annual exhibition and sale. Friends of St Michaels will be providing Tea on the Lawn and Open Gardens and Phoenix Singers perform Rossini's Petite Messe Solomnelle. Young and old can enjoy Punch and Judy at Framlingham Library. John Sheeran's illustrated talk is about some of his favourite French Impressionist paintings. Katherine Cook's Art Workshop is for those with some experience to enjoy a full day creating an abstract picture.

Old favourites include the Festival Quiz, Pen & Ink Workshop, Hidden Treasures of Framlingham, the Walking Art Gallery and the Photographic Exhibition. Dame Margaret Drabble talks about her latest book "The Pattern in the Carpet". The Hurd entertains with a refreshingly different sound and an innovative range of instruments, William Saunders' recital is particularly suitable for families and Wenhaston Girls Choir performs an eclectic programme for all tastes. The Horseman's Tale, a film featuring Ray Hubbard celebrates the Suffolk Punch and Taboo-Be-Do! promises an outrageously entertaining evening. A Button Jewellery Workshop with Marion Barnes is for those who enjoy crafts and everyone can join in with Fram Sings! - have fun making a wonderful sound. The popular Sole Bay Jazz Band feature at Jazz on the Lawn. This year's highlight is "A Laugh at the Opera" with Hatstand Opera - "a rib-tickling romp through everyone's comic opera favourites".
