The best festivals in Somerset 2026

Somerset festivals are the stuff of legend. The county is something of an expert at putting on a good shindig when it comes to having fun in a field. Yes, we’ve all heard of one particular star-studded Somerset festival, whose tickets fly off the cyber shelves like hot cakes to lucky, well-prepared folk with fifteen laptops and groups of friends (I’m talking about Glasto obvs)…BUT there are so many other festivals taking place in the county.

From belting your lungs out to banging tunes at a music festival in Somerset, rocking out until the early hours, discovering local artists, participating in theatre, tasting the county’s finest produce, learning age-old Somerset traditions, ogling hot air balloons or simply entertaining the kids, there are all kinds of Somerset festivals to suit all tastes. Keen to join in the fun? Read on for the best festivals in Somerset for your 2026 diary now!
