For people who love Somerset

Passion for Somerset is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company dedicated to celebrating everything that makes Somerset special.

We are the team behind Somerset Day, working to bring communities and businesses together to take pride in the county and showcase what it has to offer.

Our goal is to inspire people across Somerset to get involved, celebrate their local area, and feel connected to the county's heritage, culture, and economy. We do this by supporting events, sharing stories, and encouraging businesses, schools, and community groups to take part in Somerset Day celebrations.

Passion for Somerset CIC is run by a part-time CEO and overseen by a board of volunteer directors from local businesses and communities, ensuring that everything we do benefits the people of Somerset.

Everything about the word ‘Somerset’ conjures up images that cheer and inspire, that melt the heart and ease the mind. For once, it’s a word and a county that doesn’t disappoint.
