The River Brue estuary running through Burnham and Highbridge will be a hive of activity during August when a three day arts festival is held along its banks.
The event, from August 1st to 3rd, is being hailed as a ‘celebration of the creative arts in the Burnham area’ by its organisers, who include HABA (Highbridge and Burnham Artists), Somerset Arts Week and the Regeneration Partnership.
Artist Stefan Jennings will work with local young people to create a large environmental sculpture on the banks of the river which will remain in position until October.
The festival will also include sculpture workshops, a mural making session, guided walks, family art workshops, and a photo competition (which was recently featured here).
The Highbridge History project will also put on an exhibition of photographs and memories in the town’s Community Hall on August 2nd and there will be an outdoor arts fayre on Burnham seafront on August 2nd and 3rd.
