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.

I was deeply honoured to be asked to be a patron of Somerset Day. I’ve always felt it was an inspired idea to promote our beautiful county which, in my opinion, is too often under-sold. Somerset truly is a great county to live, work and play and anything I can do to shout about that I will!
