A MUSIC festival has been given a £2,000 grant.
At last week’s meeting of Harwich Town Council, councillors agreed to give a grant to this year’s Harwich Shanty Festival.
Chairman of the council’s finance and general purposes committee, Pam Morrison, said: “Harwich’s Shanty Festival has become a very important event for our town and Harwich Town Council has been very supportive.
“The committee were all in favour of helping again this year and I am sure that the £2,000 will go a long way to making this year’s Shanty Festival another great success.”
