ORGANISERS of Burnham Food and Drink Festival have awarded two bursary places for next month’s event.
The recipients, meat box scheme Berrow Beef and St Margaret’s Hospice, will have pitches at Victoria Street and College Street respectively, the latter selling vintage kitchenware.
Sarah Welland of Berrow Beef said: "We are thrilled to have been awarded a bursary. We hope it will provide us with an excellent opportunity to raise awareness of our beef within the local market. The food festival is well renowned locally, and we are very excited being part of it this October."
Festival Director Sarah Milner Simonds said: “Through the Food and Drink festival we have shown our commitment to supporting local traders to build sustainable businesses and now we want to help new businesses make their first steps into trading.
“We recognise we have an opportunity to assist in developing the skills, abilities and knowledge of all food and drink producers.”
