CHIPPING Sodbury Festival, now in its 33rd year, is set to return this June, with a special 'come to the fair' theme.

Highlights include a talk from this year's guest speaker, former MP Alan Johnson, and music, from rock n rollers, The Alligators, and jazz from The Storyville Strutters.

The popular quarry open day is back, plus there will be a quiz and a talent showcase.

Taster walks organised and led by Southwold Ramblers are a new addition to the programme for 2018. These, together with U3A cycle rides, offer interesting outdoor activities over most of the week.

The festival runs from June 8 to June 17.

Tickets are available in The Health Shop, Cadeaux & Co and the Card Boutique, all in Chipping Sodbury.
