Cracking Easter events in Somerset 2026

Ok, prepare yourselves – it’s that time of year again, when content writers get slap-happy with eggstra-ordinarily bad egg puns to talk about Easter events in Somerset. I’ll try and restrain myself, although now that we’re starting to emerge from our winter hibernation, I’m feeling positively giddy at the prospect of warmer sunny days, blossoming trees and lighter evenings.

Somerset’s events calendar is starting to look fuller than even the most glamourous of Easter Bunny’s basket, making it a cracking (sorry) time to explore the county with kids. From egg hunts to subterranean glowing trails, artistic crafts to railway rides, Somerset’s got it all.

I’ve put together a list of Easter events in Somerset taking place across the county below, to help you plan your Easter holiday entertainment. However if you want a broader list of things to do, don’t forget to check out my guide to Amazing places to visit in Somerset, as well as 37 Things to do in South Somerset with kids.

I’ve also got in-depth blogs on specific areas of Somerset, bursting with ideas on things to do – such as 18 Best things to do in Bruton and 13 Best things to do in Glastonbury, or 28+ Things to do in North Somerset. And, if the sun is shining, don’t forget it’s your Easter too! You might want to take a gander at the 7 Best pubs with play areas in Somerset.

*This post on what’s on over Easter will be updated with more 2025 Easter events as they are announced. If you know of an event that’s not been mentioned below, please get in touch by email, or submit an event here.
