Burnham-On-Sea’s three-day Book Festival is underway this weekend with a varied programme of events and workshops.
The festival started on Friday 19th May and runs until today, Sunday 21st May. The full programme can be viewed here.
Burnham’s Mayor Cllr Lesley Millard attended on Saturday evening and is pictured above with Sandy Maberley of the Echo art project.
The line-up includes a number of different workshops, panel discussions, talks, book sales and a film screening.
Among the events are sessions with Burnham author Damien Boyd, Echo: Stories of Burnham, and “The Kid” (Charlie Chaplin classic film) plus an awards ceremony.
“There are a wide range of topics covered so we hope everyone can find something to interest them,” says one of the organisers, Lewis Coleman.
“People can turn up on the day and will be very welcome to come and browse the hall or go to one of our free events. For the workshops and talks, visitors need a ticket, which they can get from The Princess.”
“We’re so excited for this year’s programme, we think we’ve got something for everyone! From crime to family history, comedy to the natural world and so much else besides.”
“As well as a bigger and better programme of workshops, which were so popular last year, the festival is a great chance to meet local writers and find your next great read!”
You’ll find further details on the Bookfest’s website and The Princess website.
