The Somerton Summer Festival is organised by a small committee of
unpaid volunteers and its aim is to provide a wide range of quality
entertainment at an affordable price for the local community. For the
last two years, in order to be able to attract larger audiences to some
of our events, we have erected a marquee on the Sports Field at Gassons
Lane, and I'm pleased to say that this has been very successful, in
spite of the additional costs involved. During the 2007 Festival we
entertained more than 2300 people at ticketed events in the marquee, at
St Michael's Church and in the pubs around the town. In addition we
entertained many more people at the Market Fair and the Funday, in
spite of the weather being not quite as we might expect in July! Also,
the Art Exhibition attracted over 700 visitors during the week.
