A spokesman for Clacton Pride said: "With great music and a relaxing feel to the day what more could you ask for than a nice chilled-out day of entertainment alongside our beautiful beaches?

"It is great to see a festival that promotes not only tolerance, peace and love, but actively promotes local business and local talent whilst ensuring it is free for all, especially during these difficult times."

There is also a grand raffle with prizes including a 50-inch TV, a holiday voucher, West End theatre tickets, Princes Theatre tickets and many more great gifts.
