Highbridge will be filled with live music today (Sunday, March 13th) when a day-long Busk-a-thon is held.
As part of Sedgemoor District Council’s drive to get people back into town and village centres, funded by the Government’s ‘Welcome Back Fund’, the event aims to remind residents and visitors about the diverse nature of local towns and villages.
The planned programme for the day is below, but any artist wanting to take part can show up on the day at one of the locations and check with the performing artist.
The event kicks off from 11am, so turn up and fill your ears with music and also sample many of the different foods and drinks on offer.
