PARKING AND ENTRY FREE!
Mersea Island is set to celebrate its wealth of food and drink producers, artists, musicians, performers, photographers and craftspeople for a weekend of fun for all the family.
Try everything from smoked foods and fresh fish, meat and cheeses to cakes, pies, ice-cream and preserves at the farmers’ market.
And, wash down all that fantastic grub with local wine and real ale, from the island’s own vineyard and microbrewery.
Watch singing and dancing and celebrate Mersea history and culture with pictures and paintings from the island’s renowned photographers and artists.
There’ll also be opportunities to pamper yourself and your home.
And, kids will love it. They can make stuff with crafts people, try a climbing wall and listen to stories. The bouncy castle and much more mean it's going to be hard to drag them home at the end of the day.

"Like many others, my wife and I would have loved to visit your festival today, but gave up waiting in the near-stationary queue of traffic clogging up the one access road. Next time, why not arrange with a local farmer to set up a temporary car park in a field at the top of the road?"
"What have they spent οΎ£9000 of taxpayers money on?"
