With less than two months to go, excitement is building for the Somerset Day 2025 weekend of 10th and 11th May, and plans are well underway for a fantastic county-wide celebration of all things Somerset!

A Grand Start with Choral Evensong at Taunton Minster

Kicking off the festivities, a special Choral Evensong at Taunton Minster on Sunday 4th May will set the tone for the celebrations. This beautiful and traditional service will bring the community together in song and spirit, marking the beginning of a week filled with pride and joy.

The Big Somerset Picnic

A much-loved highlight of Somerset Day, The Big Somerset Picnic invites everyone to come together on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th May with friends, family and neighbours to enjoy the best of local produce – indoors or outdoors. Whether it’s a homemade feast or a simple gathering with some classic Somerset cider and cheese, this is the perfect way to celebrate the county’s rich food heritage – and an opportunity to raise funds for a local cause or charity.

Show Your Somerset Pride!

As always, we encourage everyone to proudly fly the Somerset flag and hang out the Somerset bunting at home, at work and at local events. Let’s paint the county red and yellow, sharing our pride and love for Somerset with the world!
