Highbridge's River Brue Festival gets underway today
 Highbridge's
River Brue Festival gets underway today (Friday August 1st) with
a host of events taking place in the town.
After
vandalism in the early part of the week, artist Stefan Jennings
moved his sculpture (pictured right) to Wall Eden Farm in East
Huntspill, as reported
here by Burnham-On-Sea.com.
The
sculpture returns to the banks of the River Brue on Saturday and
Sunday (August 2nd and 3rd August) and Stefan will be on site
on Saturday between 11am-2pm to answer questions and discuss his
passion for working in the environment.
"Stefan’s
work forms a key part of the River Brue Visual Arts Festival,
and provides an opportunity for residents and visitors to walk
the Brue path, discovering unusual and interesting art works along
the way," festival spokeswoman Sarah Steadman told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
Artist
Clive Hammond-Lovatt is also building a sculptural exhibit using
items found along the River Brue (as pictured below) and this
is now on display along the river.
 Artists
who are members of Somerset Arts Week (SAW) are creating a sculpture
trail along the Brue's banks and will be on site from 10am on
Friday, creating interesting and unusual art in the environment.
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.
Brochures
and maps for the arts festival are available at the Burnham tourist
information centre on the seafront, and from shops and businesses
in both Burnham and Highbridge.
The
festival will also include sculpture workshops, a mural making
session, guided walks and family art workshops - as we recently
previewed here.
