There have been changes to the concerts taking place over the weekend.

Tickets cost £12 in advance and are available from Bridport Tourist Information Centre or at bridportandwestbay.co.uk, or £15 on the door.

The Saturday night concert with Gadarene and Quinns Quinney has been moved from the Electric Palace to the Millennium Green after some people mentioning they are not keen on inside venues just yet.
