A wartime aviation history celebration takes place at The Upottery Airfield Nissen Hut Heritage Centre near M5 Junction 25 with reenactments by Somerset Remembers volunteers detailing Taunton’s role in both World Wars and its historical significance in hydrography.

Seasonal fairs highlight local artisans, including handmade clocks from the apprenticeship programme at Hestercombe Gardens. Monthly networking sessions are hosted at the town centre library.
