“The Festival moves to Highbridge Community Hall in Market Street on Monday 9th March for the music section, which continues until Saturday 14th March and culminates with adult choirs competing in St John’s Church, Highbridge on the Saturday evening.”
She adds: “The Festival welcomes everyone to join the audience and enjoy seeing and hearing entrants showcase their talents.”
