Events in Somerset sets out to list the many and varied events in this beautiful county with its forty shades of green. There are so many more events these days that it has been found that most months need a page of their own!!!
So please browse them all. Get out your diary and plan your year. Perhaps organise short breaks to make the most of the events you would love to attend.
Some events do not have their dates for this year yet. As soon as they are to hand we will put that right. For now the event will be listed in the month it is normally held.
There are so many things to do in Somerset, often no matter what the weather. Why not explore a cycle or footpath in the green hills of Somerset. perhaps. Attend a festival or fair. Explore the many towns and villages that dot the county. Visit the seaside towns of Weston Super Mare or Burnham on Sea maybe.

Somerset is a county of moorland, lakes, hills and valleys, towns and pretty villages. Bristol is geographically sort of in Somerset although it has its own governing body. The twin towns of Bath and Wells have attractive architecture and cathedrals. Weston-Super-Mare and Burnham on Sea are on the coast. Weston has a wide sandy beach and a pier. Tide goes out a long way!
The attractive county town of Taunton is always worth a visit. Makes an excellent centre for touring the county.

Why not travel by Coach
If you do decide the leave the car at home and help the environment too, why not go National Express. They run coaches all over the country. Some pretty good fares too.
Just imagine - sit back and relax, no hassling with the traffic!!!
Do you know that you can book on your mobile phone and they will send the ticket as a text!!!!
