Somerset Experience Days

There may be a great deal of cheese made in Somerset, but the county is also great for food festivals, tastings and cookery classes. For chocolate-lovers, there's a chocolate workshop in Bath to get tucked in to, or a 2 hour chocolate making workshop in Bristol where you can make a bespoke hollowed chocolate and a range of decadent truffles. One of the most popular things to do in Somerset is to take a scenic ride on the East Somerset Railway steam train, choosing to either simply take in the sights or indulge in a hot Sunday lunch! For those looking to experience thrills and high-octane adventures, there are go-karting tracks, paintballing venues, and even supercar hire centres where you can pick up a Jaguar F-Type for the weekend - there's never a dull moment in Somerset!

No trip would be complete without a visit to The Museum of Somerset, which is free to enter and boasts one of the largest collections of Roman coins ever found. History buffs and budding archaeologists alike will be enthralled by the many exhibits on show, and can also visit such establishments as Glastonbury Abbey, Fleet Air Arm Museum, and Farleigh Hungerford Castle overlooking the River Frome. Somerset is also an idyllic place to escape for some relaxation and rejuvenation, with a number of spas, fishing sites, and even hot air ballooning on offer for the ultimate getaway in the south west. Enjoy!
