Which festival or event in Essex did you most enjoy in 2022?

Hopefully it was a Brightlingsea event – and now you can vote for them in the East Anglian Festival of the Year Awards.

Run by the East Anglian Festival Network, the awards cover events in Essex, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. In the Essex list are the Brightlingsea Food & Drink Festival, Regatta and WinterFest events, but there’s a space to enter events which aren’t on the list – such as the Fresh Air Festival and the Free Music Festival.

The polls will be open until January 14 with the winners – one for each county and an overall winner – eannounced by the end of the month.
