Mark Humphreys, chief executive of Magna Vitae, said: “We were thrilled to see so many people over the course of the week.

“On behalf of everyone at Magna Vitae I’d like to say a massive thank you to all those community volunteers who helped in many ways as ambassadors, dancers and cake bakers, without whom the event wouldn’t have been possible.”

Mr Humphreys added:“We would also like to thank Arts Council England and East Lindsey District Council for their support and, of course, thanks to everybody who came out to enjoy SO Festival’s various workshops and performances. We hope you agree this has been one of the most diverse and impressive SO Festival programmes we have delivered.”
