Burnham-On-Sea’s creative community came together in style at the weekend, raising an impressive £1,130 to support BOSfest 2026.
Organisers said the total was “a fantastic end to an absolutely amazing day,” praising everyone who attended for their enthusiasm and generosity.
The fundraiser, held at the Ritz Social Club, drew crowds throughout the day as musicians, volunteers and supporters united to help secure the return of the popular arts and music festival this September.
Organisers said the event highlighted exactly what makes BOSfest special, adding that the festival “simply can’t happen” without the dedication of the local community.
A wide range of performers took to the stage, each contributing their time and talent to the cause.
Acts included The Kahunas, Delta River Blues Band, Petitions Band, Maddie D, Federal Blackout, Diving Duck and Tim Dean, all of whom were praised for delivering standout performances that kept the atmosphere buzzing.
The Ritz Social Club, along with Shaun and the hardworking staff team, were thanked for hosting the event and keeping visitors refreshed and comfortable throughout the day.
Organisers also offered a special shout-out to George and Nathaniel from Spectral Sound, who ensured the audio ran smoothly and that every performance was “music to our ears.”
The BOSfest Committee received recognition for the months of planning and coordination that go into staging both the fundraiser and the festival itself. Organisers said it “takes a great team to get all of this together” and congratulated every member for their efforts.
With funds boosted and community support stronger than ever, organisers say they “can’t wait to see everyone in September” when BOSfest returns to Burnham-On-Sea.
