FOLK, flamenco and everything in between has been part of the first week of a major festival.

The Harwich Festival of the Arts launched last Thursday and has included a number of performances and physical art across the town.

Festival administrator Michael Offord said: “It has been fantastic – the concerts have been well attended and the feedback I have got has all been good.

“One of the highlights was a performance from Dovercourt and Witham Choral Society of HMS Pinafore by Glibert and Sullivan, which had huge local interest.”
