'This is my favourite festival! I relished the chance to return to beautiful Lavenham, and this year's festival was even better than ever (if that's possible). It was wonderful to see so many people in the audience, and everyone I spoke to afterwards was lovely.' - Tracy Borman

'One of my favourite events, I just love coming back to Lavenham.' - Kate Mosse
