Large crowds are expected in Burnham-On-Sea today (Saturday, October 21st) when the town’s food and drink festival returns to the town centre.

The eat:Burnham-On-Sea Food & Drink Festival will be held from 10am until 4pm with scores of stalls set up in streets.

“Punch & Judy shows will be held outside the Victoria Hotel from Professor Paul Wheeler.”
“We will also have a new blue badge parking zone running from The Ritz to the Victoria Hotel – with access from the Ritz end.”
“We are very pleased to be returning to The Princess Theatre for the first time since the pandemic with many stalls there as well as in local streets.”
