And it’s goodbye from us, for another year at least!
We’ll be sharing plenty more photos, videos and memories over the coming weeks, so keep an eye on our website and social media as we relive another fantastic festival together.
From all of us at Somerstock, thank you for being part of it. Have a wonderful summer, and we’ll see you again in 2027! 💛🎶
Somerstock isn’t just about the music – it’s about creating a fantastic day out for the whole family, and this year’s Kids’ Zone was bursting with fun from start to finish!
From colourful face painting and creative crafts to the giant inflatable slide, bouncy castle, silent disco, soft play, magical stilt-walking fairy and the always-amazing Rainbow Bubble Man, there was something to keep children of all ages entertained. Seeing so many smiling faces, dancing feet and bubbles floating across the festival site was simply brilliant!
The best part? Every single activity was completely free for families to enjoy.
That was only possible thanks to the incredible support of Somerset Community Foundation and Somerton Town Council, whose funding helped us create a packed programme of entertainment for our youngest festival-goers. Their generosity meant families could simply relax, enjoy the day and make memories together without worrying about extra costs.
A huge thank you also goes to all of our entertainers, activity providers and volunteers, who brought so much energy, enthusiasm and magic to the Kids’ Zone. You helped make it one of the busiest and happiest parts of the festival!
Moments like these are what Somerstock is all about – bringing our community together, creating unforgettable memories and making sure there’s something for everyone.
We loved seeing so many happy faces… and we can’t wait to do it all again in 2027! 🎉
One of the things that makes Somerstock so special is the opportunity to support the incredible charities that work tirelessly in our communities.
Throughout the festival, visitors had the chance to meet the teams from Talk Club, Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance, and St Margaret’s Hospice. Their stalls were busy throughout the weekend, giving festival-goers the opportunity to learn more about the vital work they do, ask questions and find out how they can get involved or offer their support.
We’re incredibly grateful to all three charities for being part of Somerstock 2026 and for the dedication, compassion and commitment they show every day. Their presence helped make the festival about more than just great music and entertainment – it was also a chance to celebrate and support organisations that make a real difference to people’s lives.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat, made a donation or simply took the time to find out more. Your support means so much, and we’re proud that Somerstock continues to bring our community together for such worthwhile causes.
What an incredible moment – we couldn’t have scripted it any better.

Somerstock 2026… you were incredibleA massive thank you to everyone that came out to brave another scorcher of a year with us!
2 days, 6 DJ’s, 12 bands/ artists, 20 vendors, countless pints poured and a HUGE amount of effort from our volunteers across both the planning committee and the lovely stewards who helped us on the day, and we’ve done it!
We’ll be continuing to share highlights from the weekend as they come in but for now, we hope you all had an fantastic weekend, send us your photos and tag yourself in ours and we’ll see you next year 
Over the weekend we got to see the impact Somerstock has made, by chatting to a lovely couple who first joined us four years ago, specifically to see The Blockheads, and haven’t missed a year since!
There are so many wonderful people to thank for helping make Somerstock happen, and today we’d like to give a big shout-out to Adrian from On-Tap Water. 💙💧
A huge thank you for supplying the water across the festival site and helping to keep our volunteers, performers, traders and crew hydrated throughout the weekend.
It’s one of those things that often goes unnoticed, but having a reliable water supply is absolutely essential to running a successful festival. Adrian’s support, professionalism and willingness to help made a real difference, and we’re incredibly grateful.
Thank you, Adrian, and everyone at On-Tap Water, for helping keep Somerstock flowing! 💦👏
This year we were delighted to welcome Haus Productions to the Somerstock team for the very first time, providing our sound and stage lighting – and what a fantastic job they did! 🎶💡
From the opening act to the final encore, the team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every performance looked and sounded its very best. Their professionalism, attention to detail and calm approach gave our artists everything they needed to put on great shows.
One of the nicest things for us was hearing so many of you comment on just how good the sound quality was this year. Those comments are a real testament to the expertise and hard work of the Haus Productions team, and we’re so pleased their efforts were noticed and appreciated.
Festivals rely on talented people working behind the scenes, and Haus Productions played a huge part in helping us deliver the best Somerstock experience yet.
A huge thank you to everyone at Haus Productions. We loved working with you and hope this is the first of many Somerstock festivals together! 💙🎤✨
A huge thank you to Paul and Jake for everything they did to keep Somerstock powered throughout the festival. ⚡👏
From the first day of the site build right through to the final act, they worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly. Whether it was the stages, bars, traders or Kids’ Zone, nothing was ever too much trouble. They were always on hand with a smile, a solution and a willingness to help, no matter what was needed.
The electrical infrastructure at a festival is something most people never think about, but without it, none of the magic happens. Their hard work, professionalism and calm approach played a huge part in making this year’s Somerstock such a success.
So a huge thank you to PC Electrics and Ham Hill Electrical Services for their invaluable support of the festival.
Thank you both – we couldn’t have done it without you! 💙⚡
One of our biggest successes this year was our expanded Kids’ Zone – and it was wonderful to see so many children enjoying everything on offer throughout the day. 🎉
Thanks to the generous support of Somerset Community Foundation and Somerton Town Council, we were able to provide a fantastic range of FREE activities for families, including:
🎈 A huge soft play area
🛝 A giant inflatable slide
🎨 Face painting
✂️ Arts and crafts
🫧 Amazing bubble displays from the Bubble Man
🧚♀️ Magical entertainment from our stilt-walking fairy
…and plenty more to keep young festival-goers smiling!
We believe Somerstock should be a festival that the whole family can enjoy, and seeing so many happy faces made all the hard work worthwhile.
A huge thank you to Somerset Community Foundation and Somerton Town Council for helping us make this possible. Your support enabled us to create a fun, welcoming space where children could enjoy a fantastic day at no extra cost to their families.
We can’t wait to make the Kids’ Zone even bigger and better next year! 💙
