`THE SUN IN THE EAST - Norfolk & Suffolk Fairs' is to the people who were and will be there, and for others who may not even know where East Anglia is. The Sun in the East is the brightness of a string of Fairs rising from the flat East for over a decade of Summers, rays of lightness in a troubled time for the old island of Britain, known to some as Albion.

ORGANISATION A group of friends put on the first Fair in 1972 and in doing so became the East Anglian Arts Trust. E.A.A.T. was responsible for every Fair until `77/78 when the Albion Fairs (roughly the same people) began. Albion has worked closely with local groups: Fairs at Ladders Hill, Lyng - Norfolk & Norwich Arts (N.A.N.A.) Rougham, Suffolk - Green Deserts, a registered charity working towards the re-afforestation of desert regions. East Bergholt - Old Hall, Stour Valley Collective. The Follye Fayres at Heveningham have been put on independently and the Green Fairs at Blythburgh and Bungay are the work of the gradually resurrected E.A.A.T. All the Fairs have had the help and co-operation of local people. In particular, credit and thanks to the villagers of Barsham and Rougham. It is a very big group of friends now.
