A Taste of Somerset: A Feast You Don’t Want to Miss
Posted July 3, 2025The Somerset Food Trail is back this July, and it’s tastier than ever. From orchard picnics to pop-up feasts, it’s your chance to explore Somerset through the eyes (and bellies!) of its most passionate growers, makers and cooks.
Discover The Somerset Food Trail
If ever there was a reason to fall in love with Somerset all over again, the Somerset Food Trail is it. Taking place from Friday 18th to Sunday 27th July 2025, it’s a ten-day celebration of everything delicious, local, and lovingly made across our beautiful county. Think rolling orchards, slow-grown produce, farm feasts and open doors to some of Somerset’s best-kept foodie secrets.
From Somerset Producers to Cider Stalls
What makes the Somerset Food Trail so special is its grassroots feel. It’s not a centralised food festival, it’s a patchwork of producers, cafes, smallholdings, and community hubs opening their gates and welcoming you in. It’s your chance to meet the real people behind the produce, the farmers, bakers, brewers and cooks who make Somerset taste so good.
