Join us for
Somerset Day 2025 and celebrate our county together on 10th and 11th May
We’re passionate about inspiring locals, businesses, and communities in Somerset to celebrate everything that makes our county so special.
Celebrate Somerset Day 2025 over the weekend of 10th & 11th May
Join in with events taking place all across the county.
As we head towards the second weekend in May, we come together to celebrate everything that makes Somerset amazing—its economy, history, heritage, beauty and culture. Our 2024 celebrations were the biggest yet!
The Association of British Counties even said, "Somerset Day is now rivalling Yorkshire Day and Lancashire Day for its reach across the county."
On February 11th, we kicked off our Somerset Day preparations! You can now add your own events, get tips on hosting your own or explore what’s happening near you.
