Festival occurs for trades generally (10)
I believe the answer is:
easterlies
'trades generally' is the definition.
(as in trade winds)
'festival occurs' is the wordplay.
'festival' becomes 'easter' (Christian festival).
'occurs' becomes 'lies' (lying is a kind of occurring).
'easter'+'lies'='EASTERLIES'
'for' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
