Celebrate your county's food and music on Somerset Day

With just weeks remaining until the county's biggest annual celebration, excitement is mounting across Somerset as residents, businesses and community groups prepare for Somerset Day 2025.

- 

The two-day event, taking place over the weekend of Saturday, May 10, and Sunday, May 11, promises to deliver a vibrant mix of festivities celebrating the region's heritage, produce and spirit.

Festivities will begin a week earlier with a special Choral Evensong at Taunton Minster on Sunday, May 4. This traditional service will bring locals together in reflection and song, setting the tone for the days ahead.

The weekend itself centres around the Big Somerset Picnic, encouraging friends, families and neighbours to gather in celebration with local produce, whether at home or in community spaces.
