Planning your festival year? Somerset's 2026 calendar spans everything from the world's biggest festival to intimate folk and food weekends. Here's a look at what's coming up — and the full Somerset listings are kept current all year.
The ones to book early
Glastonbury Festival sells out in minutes, so if it's a Glastonbury year, be ready. Bath's Mozartfest and the Jane Austen Festival are also worth booking ahead for.
Town festivals through the year
Somerset's towns run brilliant festivals across the seasons — the Frome Festival in July, Wells Comedy Festival in spring and the Wells Food Festival in autumn among them.
Cider and folk
For something unmistakably Somerset, the Priddy Folk Festival and cider gatherings like OutCider capture the county at its best.
