SAVING Grace featuring Robert Plant and Suzi Dian will be the closing act at this year's Bewdley Festival following a surprise announcement.

The local group will be performing at the Tree Tops Pavilion at West Midland Safari and Leisure Park on Saturday (October 16).

Trevor Price, festival coordinator said: "We are absolutely thrilled to bits - we are really excited.

"It's a wonderful way to end the festival."

The festival was due to end on Friday with the legendary band Fairport Convention, performing as part of their 50th Anniversary Tour, to a sold-out audience.

Tickets for the show cost £30.00 and are available via bookings.bewdleyfestival.org.uk

Doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 8pm.
