Fully-licensed socially-distanced music festival at Cranwich near Thetford

Three-hundred people enjoyed a fully-licensed socially-distanced festival at Cranwich near Thetford on Saturday. The local team behind Hifields ensured that Covid rules and regulations were followed throughout the day. White squares were marked on the grass and assigned to groups of people to ensure distancing while hand sanitiser machines were fitted across the site. Founder Thomas Janes said: "It’s been a real family affair, and a case of everybody really mucking in to pull it all together. "My mum was even working the bar, ensuring social distancing was in place in the queue and when people were ordering their drinks. “Safety has been a real priority, especially in light of the pandemic. We used the same security team as we do each year at our bigger festival in Chippenham Park, because we know we can trust them and they know how to spot a troublemaker." He said the day was a huge success - mainly because "everyone was just happy to be able to get out and about again. "It was just nice to be able to sit in the sun and enjoy some music."
