A new festival set to take over Marlborough has announced its lineup of singers, actors, comedians and famous chefs.
Marlborough Festival will launch for the first time on Friday, July 12 and run events across the weekend until Sunday, July 14.
The three-day festival has something for the whole family including live bands, theatre productions, comedy gigs and award-winning food.
Organisers say they hope that this exciting new event will put the picturesque Wiltshire town centre stage and showcase the very best that Wiltshire and the South West has to offer.
Tickets cost £77.20 per person for the entire weekend, or £220.20 for a family of four, but you can also find prices for individual events on the Marlborough Festival website.
But with events taking place at various locations across the time, it's important to check ahead to see which events you want to attend.
