And last but not least, don’t miss aKa Dance Theatre and Farm Yard Circus. who will be performing in St Mary’s Church and on Fore Street respectively.
The events grant, funded with investment from UK Government (released in May 2023) has enabled this afternoon of fun times to take place. The organiser Sarah Setter, from Lost Lady Society said “we are extremely grateful for Bridgwater Town Deal/Council for creating this opportunity for so many local cultural professionals across the county and artistic genres. Fingers crossed for the weather!”
R Lambert, co-chair of the grant decision panel, said “The panel felt it was important that funding brought exciting large-scale events to Bridgwater. We saw some exceptional applications that will bring residents / visitors into town and much needed footfall.”
Grants are still available from £500 up to £10,000 to support organisations in their delivery of new events and activities that will re-energise Bridgwater.
