And because no music festival is ever complete without food and bevies, the Norfolk Night Market will also feature a line-up of food trucks and a selection of local craft beer, wine, spirits and cider. So be prepared for a gastronomic adventure.

Interestingly, you can also enjoy toe-tapping live music by local performers at the night market before the concert begins. The market is, after all, part of this iconic music festival!
