Iain Wilson of Byfords and the driving force behind Love Holt said: “Greshfest is a unique opportunity for everyone in north Norfolk to enjoy mainstream musical talent live on our doorstep.

"I am so excited to welcome these big names to our lovely market town of Holt.

"Not only will Greshfest benefit our local community and young, talented artists from across Norfolk, but it will be great entertainment for everyone - all ages, from all walks of life, but particularly for kids and teenagers who have had to miss out on so much during the pandemic."
