A ‘SECRET’ festival is returning to Mersea Island this month as more than 50 artists are set to take the stage.

Ultrafunkula's Secret Island Festival will be held on the picturesque island on July 30 from noon until 11pm.

The festival is ‘secret’ because its exact location is only disclosed to ticket holders, with the general public kept in the dark.

More than 50 artists will perform across four stages including Norman Jay, Max Chapman and Stanton Warriors.

Tickets, with prices starting from £35, are on sale now at bit.ly/3PbvdxC.
