Somerset hosts festivals of every kind, from the world's most famous music festival to intimate folk weekends in the hills. Here's how the county's festival calendar breaks down.
Music festivals in Somerset
It starts with Glastonbury Festival at Pilton, but there's plenty more: BlueTone and Test Fest near Taunton, Somerstock near Somerton, and the Minehead & Exmoor Music Festival on the coast.
Classical and literary
Bath leads on culture with the Mozartfest, Bachfest and the Jane Austen Festival, while the Dulverton Exmoor Literary Festival brings authors to the moor's edge.
Food, drink and cider
Somerset's food scene shows up at the Wells Food Festival and the Bath & West Food & Drink Festival, while its orchards are celebrated at cider festivals like OutCider and the Nailsea Beer and Cider Festival.
Folk, comedy and the arts
The Priddy Folk Festival, Wells Comedy Festival, Frome Festival and Od Arts Festival round out a calendar that keeps Somerset busy from spring to winter.
