Councillor Doreen Pegg, Woodbridge Festival committee member and a member of Suffolk Windrush Select Committee, says: “We’ve been celebrating the musical influence of the Windrush generations in Woodbridge since June, so it’s great to close these celebrations and mark the end of Black history Month with projections on the town’s historic Tide Mill on 4th November. The Windrush docked a little down the coast from us, and it will be great seeing these projections reflected on the water.”
