IN REPLY to Brian Austin's query as to why, after 21 years, the Weston Arts Festival is always scheduled for when the tourists have gone home, the reason is simple: the majority of people who make the festival possible are on holiday themselves during the months of July and August.

But, more importantly, Weston Arts Festival has always been, and will continue to be, very much a community event geared towards the involvement and entertainment of local people rather than tourists.
