Burnham-On-Sea’s food festival returns to the town centre on Saturday 22nd October for its 10th anniversary event.
eat:Burnham-On-Sea will feature over 100 food and drink producers stretching from Victoria Street to the Methodist and Baptist Churches.
Co-organiser Sarah Milner Simonds said: “It has been a real pleasure building eat:Burnham-On-Sea up over the past 10 years and for this 20th edition we are showcasing some of the region’s best producers alongside the brilliant businesses in the town centre.”
“When we started the festival in 2012 we wanted to create something in our hometown that brought people together to meet primary producers.”
“This has grown steadily and expanded to be 32 times award-winning festivals in 19 towns and this winter we will deliver our 100th.”
Co-organiser Bev Milner Simonds adds: “At the 93 festivals so far we have provided over 6,660 trading opportunities, walked over 3million steps, welcomed over 1m visitors and generated over £50m of local economic impact.”
“We are still focused on bringing together producers who are based within 30 miles of the town, together with a selection of charities, community and campaign groups.”
“This autumn we are using the Baptist Church again, one of our original venues and we thank the church for their ongoing support. A big thank you to local estate agents Greenslade Taylor Hunt for their support.”
