It comes as we all emerge from the pandemic.
Festival director Stewart Collins said: “I think what the pandemic has shown us is that we had a tremendous degree of momentum going into it over the previous few years and we have also had an incredible amount of support from our sponsors and our friends and our supporters just in general.
“And I think that’s what has given us the confidence to get back straight into the saddle.
“And we’re not doing that as if nothing has happened because something very big has happened but it is about trying to pick up on that momentum and trying to get back to where we were.”
