Delighted organisers of Burnham-On-Sea’s music and arts festival BOSfest have thanked visitors and supporters after a successful weekend.
The three-day event saw spectators head to the Manor Gardens on Sunday despite an afternoon of wet weather to enjoy live music.
It followed a busy day of entertainment and music on Saturday in Victoria Street and at town centre pubs and bars.
BOSfest organiser Tanya Dyer, pictured top with her team, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “It was a great weekend of entertainment and people were so supportive with positive feedback.”
“We are very grateful for everyone’s support – we can’t do this without all the people that come along or help us.”
“We thank everyone who attended, the venues for their support, the great acts, our wonderful committee, the helpers, our sponsors and funders, and Burnham-On-Sea.com for its support.”
Tanya added that the event had been dedicated to the memory of Sue Stent, the event’s long-running treasurer, who sadly recently passed away.
