Extra lighthouse joins Burnham trail as charity total is announced

-

A new mini-lighthouse is to be added to Burnham-On-Sea’s charity trail this week.

Members of Highbridge and Burnham Artists have unveiled the new addition to the trail and announced the total raised so far for charity.

The 34th lighthouse, which is set to go on display in Weston, will help to promote the trail to visitors.

HABA’s Sarah Berryman told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “This new promotional lighthouse gives details about the trail locations, the charity and will be used to pull more people into Burnham.”

“We are delighted to have raised over £600 so far for Burnham-based cancer support charity Petal, which is run in memory of resident Christine Woodberry who died of cancer.”

The Burnham Lighthouse Trail comprises 34 mini 6ft replicas of Burnham’s iconic beach lighthouse which are now at shops and businesses across the area.

They have been built at Woodberry Brothers and Haines in Highbridge by volunteer Paul Plume. Trail maps are available to buy from the tourist information centre on Burnham’s seafront and participating shops.
