The Dunster Winter Festival Community Interest Company is being established to run the event on behalf of the village. Composed of Dunster residents and businesses, it has three goals:

• create an event just before Christmas for the village and visitors to enjoy;

• fundraise for the charities and community groups that care for the village and villagers; and

• promote winter trade in Dunster

Committee Chair David Noad says: “The organising Committee is creating the 2024 Festival from scratch. Our long-term goal is to produce an event on a similar scale to the much-loved 'Dunster by Candlelight', with a road closure that enables a procession and on-street entertainment during the evening as well as the day. This year, without the significant funds needed, we are concentrating on building the team and resources for a daytime-only event. We hope that anyone who loves the pre-Christmas event in the village will support the many fundraising events being held this year – whether attending workshops, plays or wine tasting. You might want to organise your own event!"
