The world may be still trapped in lockdown but some festivals are working hard to ensure that life goes on.
The Essex Book Festival has announced that contingency planning has meant that the event can go ahead as planned – online if necessary.
Unlike previous years, the Festival will run for three months with digital events taking place in June, followed by physical events in July and August, all made Covid-secure through outdoor settings and large indoor venues where social distancing is possible.
