As Somerset is steeped in history and tradition, many events will give you a real flavour of life in Somerset in years gone by - with many traditions such as willow or cider making still alive and well today!

Information Centres can provide a more detailed local list which will include smaller events, and they are a great source of advice and information to help you make the most of your time in Somerset.

As well as these events, regular theatre listings can be provided by any of the theatres in Somerset.

There are also two racecourses in Somerset, at Taunton and Wincanton where regular meets are held.

Between the end of September and mid November, the streets of many Somerset towns and villages are an exciting blaze of colour as the Somerset Illuminated Carnivals take place.

For those of you interested in great local Somerset food, take a look at our Farmers Markets and Food Festivals.
