Somerstock Music Festival Shines, Raises £3,200 for Charity

The Somerstock Music Festival has emerged as a prominent summer event in Somerset, drawing increasing crowds and attention each year. This year’s festival, held at the Recreation Ground in Somerton on a sunny day, was described by organizers as the best edition to date. Attendees enjoyed an array of live music, complemented by locally sourced food, beer, and cider, marking a successful celebration of community spirit and artistry.

The grassroots nature of the Somerstock Music Festival has contributed significantly to its rising popularity. In addition to providing entertainment, the event raised £3,200 for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance as well as the Somerton Recreation Ground Trust. This charitable aspect underscores the festival’s commitment to benefiting local organizations and initiatives.

Emily Gordon, the owner of Simply Made Marketing, played a pivotal role in promoting the festival through social media channels. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed; she has been nominated for a West Country Women Award in the ‘start up of the year’ category, highlighting her contributions to the festival and local community.

Next year, the Somerstock Music Festival is set to return to the Recreation Ground in Somerton in July 2026. As it continues to grow in both size and impact, it promises to be an event that residents and visitors alike will not want to miss. With its vibrant atmosphere and community focus, Somerstock is solidifying its status as one of the key summer events in the region.

As preparations for the next festival begin, anticipation is already building among attendees and organizers. The combination of music, food, and philanthropy creates a unique experience that resonates with a diverse audience, ensuring that the Somerstock Music Festival will remain a highlight of the summer calendar for years to come.
