King’s Lynn Festival is proud to announce it has been officially named the Norfolk Festival of the Year 2025 by the East Anglian Festival Network (EAFN). The prestigious award was announced following a public vote that saw thousands of festival-goers from across the region championing their favourite events.

The EAFN Festival of the Year Awards celebrate the very best of the East of England’s vibrant event scene. King’s Lynn Festival’s victory highlights its enduring appeal and commitment to delivering a world-class programme of classical music, jazz, folk, and the arts within the historic setting of West Norfolk.

"We are absolutely thrilled to receive this recognition from the EAFN and, most importantly, from our audiences," said says Ben Horden, Festival Manager, King’s Lynn Festival. "Winning Norfolk Festival of the Year is a testament to the hard work of our volunteers, the brilliance of our performers, and the unwavering support of our community. As we look ahead to our 75th year this Summer Series, this award gives us even more momentum to keep bringing exceptional culture to King's Lynn."

This accolade comes at an exciting time for the Festival as it is already underway with its Spring 2026 Concert Series, featuring performances by the Regency String Quartet, pianist Ariel Lanyi, and a headline talk by art historian Bendor Grosvenor.
