Second Synergy event wins eastern region's seventh cultural Inspire Mark
Norfolk's second Synergy event : The Lifestyles Festival will take place on 10 - 13 July at Hunstanton on the north Norfolk coast.
This is the second in a series of Synergy events taking place in Norfolk in the run up to 2012 and the second to win an Inspire Mark. Synergy began last year at Whitlingham Outdoor Centre near Norwich. That event created a "Synergy concept" - a set of values that will support large events and the organisations that run them to be more ambitious, exuberant and sustainable.
