An annual festival has announced it will not take place this year due to financial pressures.
The Primadonna Festival, held at the Food Museum and other venues in Suffolk, announced the news on social media.
The festival said: "Despite a record-breaking 2024, rising costs and lack of funding have made it impossible to deliver this year's event.
"However, this is not the end.
"We are working on a plan to secure Primadonna's future and return at full throttle in 2026.
"In the meantime, we'll continue with bespoke events and collaborations to keep the spirit of Primadonna alive."
