We thrive on inspiring and empowering communities and businesses and all who live and work in Somerset to share a passion for Somerset and to encourage them to celebrate all the county has to offer.
In the lead up to, and over, the second weekend in May we celebrate the economy, history, heritage, beauty and culture of Somerset.
Our 2024 celebrations were the biggest yet, with the Association of British Counties saying "Somerset Day is now rivalling Yorkshire Day and Lancashire Day for its reach across the county"
Watch this space for details of our exciting plans for 2025 to be announced later in the summer !
Show your pride in our County and join us in turning Somerset into a sea of Somerset flags and more on and around May 11th.
