ARE YOU READY FOR 2027?
Eat, drink, dance, repeat!
All that dancing, singing and general festival merriment is thirsty work. Luckily, Somerstock has got the important stuff covered.
From tasty street food and proper meals to something quick between bands and some sweet treats, there’s plenty to tempt you — and plenty to keep the kids happy too. Then there’s the festival bar, where you can grab a cold one, settle in with friends and raise a glass to a great weekend.
Eat, drink and be merry…
What’s in it for the kids?
Whether you’re busy dancing, soaking up the music, enjoying a well-earned drink, there’s plenty to keep our younger visitors smiling in the Somerstock Kid’s Zone. A whole world of entertainment awaits, designed just for them. And the best bit, it’s all FREE. No extra charges no booking required – just bring the kids and let the fun begin!
And don’t forget, Somerstock tickets are FREE too for children under 12!

Make a weekend of it!
Turn your Somerstock experience into a proper weekend away! Our on-site camping gives you the chance to stay right in the heart of the festival, with your tent just a short stroll from the music, food and entertainment. Wake up, grab a coffee and ease into another day of live music and festival fun without worrying about the journey home. Bring your tent, settle in and make the most of the whole Somerstock experience!
Tents and camper vans welcome!
Powered by the Community!
Somerstock is a true community festival, run entirely by volunteers who give their time, energy and enthusiasm to make it happen. From the planning team behind the scenes to our fantastic stewards on the ground, it takes a huge team of people to bring Somerstock to life.
It’s that community spirit that makes Somerstock feel so special. Everyone plays their part, and the result is a festival that belongs to the whole community — friendly, welcoming and full of people who simply want to have a brilliant weekend together.
Fancy being part of the team? We’d love to hear from you.

These are the people who helped us pull it all together
These local organisations worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make it all happen. Despite the soaring temperatures, nothing was ever too much trouble, and their professionalism, flexibility and good humour never wavered.
We’re incredibly grateful for their hard work, support and willingness to go the extra mile. Somerstock simply wouldn’t happen without them – thank you!

Thank you Somerstock!
Following the success of the 2025 Somerton Music & Arts Festival, the Festival Committee has made donations to support the vital work of the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance (D&SAA) and The Recreation Ground Trust.
A cheque was presented at Henstridge Airfield, home of the air ambulance helicopter where Charlotte Humber, Support Engagement Officer of D&SAA receive the donation from the Festival treasurer Martyn Smith.
The Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance provides a life-saving emergency service across the region, funded almost entirely by charitable donations. The Festival Committee was delighted to contribute to this essential work as part of its commitment to supporting local causes.
Martyn Smith said, “We are proud to support the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance. Thanks to the success of the Festival and the fantastic support from the community, we are able to give something back to a service that helps so many people in Somerset and beyond.”
A second cheque was presented by festival chairman Fred Bassett to the Recreation Ground Trust in recognition of the valuable community facility they provide for Somerton and their continued support of Somerstock.
