Nailsea arts and music festival.
(From Bristol Evening Post)
Organisers of Nailsea's annual arts and music festival hope this year's extravaganza raise thousands towards a project to restore a medieval barn in the town.
The festival, now in its third year, kicks off on May 11 and is being held at venues across the town including Holy Trinity Church, Nailsea Tithe Barn and the Ring of Bells pub.
This year, all money raised at the festival will go towards an GBP850,000 project to restore the tithe barn, which dates back to the 15th century, to its former glory.
Last year the festival raised GBP3,500 and organisers are hoping to beat that at this year's event.
A number of performers are lined up for the festival, including folk bands, choirs and a string quartet.
