Thank you ………….

We are very grateful to Hinkley Point C Community Fund for their grant towards our venue costs for our 2024 Festival, which allowed us to keep entry fees and admission costs as low as they were and will help us to continue to host our ‘friendly’ festival in 2025. We would also like to thank The Rotary Club of Burnham-on-Sea for their generous donation, The Arts Society Sedgemoor (TASS) for their renewed sponsorship for our 2025 Festival and The Friends of Highbridge Festival for their contributions, which help us support schools with their travel costs.

Thank you to Sopha of Highbridge for moving our festival piano, to Holywell Nursing Home in Brent Knoll for fostering the piano until we next need it and to Burnham Portable Toilet Hire, Quicksign and ASDA, Highbridge for their support of our 77th Festival.
