Somerset Day (May 11th)

This Somerset Day (May 11th)
we’re asking everyone to celebrate safely online.

We’re all learning to get creative at home at the moment so this year join in the celebrations with these words: Why I love Somerset. 

We want to see everything you love about Somerset whether you choose to express it in pictures, art, words, baking, song or dance!

Send us your pictures beforehand or on Somerset Day itself and we will create an online overflow of love, joy and celebration to lift people’s spirits and bring us together.

Stay safe and keep well
