Festival Objectives
The aims of the Festival are to raise the profile of Bridgwater through the arts and the profile of the arts to the Bridgwater community and visitors. Encourage tourism and footfall into Bridgwater businesses and to continue to broaden the programme to encourage life-long learning and education through the arts. This was the third year of the festival and we hope the businesses along with members of the community enjoyed the mixture of music, dance, drama and visual arts, on the lead up and during the Somerfest weekend. Each year more partnerships are being established to broaden the events appeal.

The financial sponsors are a key part of the success and we would like to take the opportunity to thank all of them. In particular Sedgemoor District Council, the local media, Gerber Foods, Cresent Galleries, The Town Centre Partnership which includes Boots, Saisburys, Angel Place and Bridgwater Retail Park. Thanks go to all the participants and those who gave in time, or supply of venue. This type of event is very positive for Bridgwater and we would welcome your feedback on the programme and invite you to consider participation in the 2004 event.
