Glow Lights

This year’s event was a bigger collaborative effort with Burnham Retail Group, In Charlies Memory, Burnham and Highbridge Town Council working together with Fuse Outdoor Arts, Create You, Sami Green Creative, and Morland Hub to bring lights and decoration a part of a day of activities, a parade, Christmas Carols and the switch on of the town lights.
