Brightlingsea MusicFest 2009

The ninth free, live, outdoor music festival in East Anglia is 4 days and features performances from both nationally and locally known artists.

The event starts on Thursday with a classical event in the Springmead Gardens. On Friday evening, local musicians will be playing in several locations (including pubs) around the town. On Saturday afternoon, the main stage event on Promenade Way takes place, and on Sunday there will be an afternoon of acoustic music on Hurst Green.

No acts for 2009 are confirmed as yet

The festival is located just off the sea front on a large grassed area enclosed by beach huts, beside the open air swimming pool, with ample space for picnics. There are also cafes nearby and food stalls will be providing alternative eating outlets on the day.

Free parking: There is a large amount of free parking but it can get pretty full – there will be an overspill car park a short walk away if necessary. There were an estimated 8,000 visitors in 2007.

Individuals are invited to show their support by purchasing colourful wristbands at and Festival T shirts. Both these items go on sale at local outlets.
