The Folkfest committee are pleased to announce that we have now received two grants; one from the Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge Town Council totalling £1,100 and a further grant from the Somerset Community Foundation totalling £750 towards the running of the Folkfest. We would like to publically thank both organisations for their generosity and help in enabling the Folkfest to grow and continue into its fifth year. As the festival grows, so do the infrastructure costs, as we strive to ensure that we provide a safe and secure environment for everybody, and despite considerable fundraising by the committee, we could not exist without some external financial help.
Following on from the successful Strawberry Line Sponsored Bike Ride, which raised in excess of £250, the Crooks Peak Sponsored Walk will be happening on June 20th. Sponsorship forms are available from GC Music or from Ted Heath on Ritz Acoustic Club evenings. The five mile uphill walk to the top of Crooks Peak is designed to be achievable by most levels of fitness. This will be followed by Music at the Knoll Inn at E. Brent. So get a form, get some sponsorship and enjoy another Fun Sunday out with the Folkfest Committee and others.
