About Erika Clegg:
Erika Clegg lives in Southwold with her husband, Simon, and their son, Will. A third-generation Southwolder, she dedicated Southwold365, in part, to her grandparents, Jane and Eddie Williams, in gratitude for the love of the town they passed on to her.
Erika and Simon founded the communications agency Spring in Southwold, growing it into an award-winning business whose clients included Champagne Bollinger, the UK Government and a wide range of regional organisations. Following the sale of the business to three members of its team, Erika now advises leaders, businesses and institutions across the UK and overseas.
An award-winning speaker, Erika is also the author of Junk Values, which is shortlisted in the Smart Thinking category of the Business Book Awards 2026. She is a Deputy Lieutenant of Suffolk.
About Southwold 365:
In 2024, Erika Clegg set herself the challenge of celebrating a Southwold gem every single day. What began as a simple online exercise soon grew into an exploration of this charming market town's forgotten history, colour characters, and treasures hiding in plain sight.
With the challenge complete, it seemed a shame to leave it languishing in the far reaches of Instagram. And so this book was set in motion. With many new photographs by Simon Hazelgrove and handy tick boxes so readers can find and record Southwold's treasures for themselves, it is a love letter to our town, ready to be shared.
Southwold Literary Festival is a partnership between Southwold Library, Southwold Arts Centre and Southwold Books. All events take place at Southwold Arts Centre in St Edmund’s Hall.
