Street and Glastonbury are set for an exciting weekend with a variety of events that promise fun, entertainment, and community spirit.
Here's what you can look forward to:
Somerstock Music Festival
Somerstock is almost here, and tickets are selling fast! This year's headliner is the legendary jazz-funk band Shakatak, set to electrify the stage on Saturday, 13th July. The festival kicks off on Friday night with performances by The Charlie Miller Band, Twisted Vinyl, and Florence & The Bare Souls. With over ten more live acts across two outdoor stages and a big top marquee, Somerstock is the music festival you can't afford to miss.
Indulge in a feast of flavours from around the world with a wide range of food and drink options, from craft ales and cocktails to alcoslush and mouth-watering street food. The dedicated Kids' Zone will keep the children entertained with activities like a silent disco, circus skills, face painting, and a bouncy castle (and kids under 12 go free).
Immerse yourself fully in the festival experience with on-site camping and convenient parking options. Limited Friday night tickets are also available for those who can't attend the whole weekend. Somerstock isn't just about the music – it's a celebration of community and fun. For more details and to grab your tickets, visit Somerstock.
