Burton Bradstock Festival at St Mary's Church

Event: Burton Bradstock Festival of Music and Art
Date: August 9th until 15th

Guests at the luxury Dorset hotel Summer Lodge can now enjoy 3 Nights for the Price of 2, which is quite handy because the Burton Bradstock Festival of Music and Art is fast approaching.

Started in 1981, the event has become one of the highlights of the Dorset cultural calendar, with concerts from established as well as up-and-coming talent thrilling the locals.

This year promises another top-quality line-up, with the London Festival Players delivering recitals of the exuberant String Octet by the 16-year-old Felix Mendelssohn to mark the composer's 200th anniversary.

Also performing at the festival will be violinist Natalia Lomelko, oboist Neil Black and the 6pac Jazz Sextet.

The festival is not simply about watching others put on a show as visitors can take part in the barn dance and peruse paintings and objects created by more than 60 West Country artists at the art exhibition.

With all of this and much more to engage in, those coming from out of town will need more than one night in Dorset, which makes the Summer Lodge's 3 Nights for the Price of 2 offer even more attractive.

As well as a third free night, guests are also treated to a full English breakfast each morning as well as complimentary use of the Health Club, heated indoor pool and sauna.
