TAUNTON Town Council is set to throw its first-ever festival, Taunton Together, a "vibrant celebration of community, culture, and creativity in the heart of Taunton town centre".
The council is collaborating with its cultural partners to deliver Taunton Together, as an end-of-summer celebration on Saturday, 28 September 2024.
Taunton Town Council is working in partnership with Taunton Theatre Association, Go Create, CICCIC, Somerset County Cricket Gound, Arts Taunton, Taunton Independent Market, Orchard Shopping Centre and the Nominated High Sheriff of Somerset and Taunton Minster and others.
Taunton Together will run from 11am to 7pm, with the first hour being a “quiet hour” to support an inclusive and accessible event, with "something for everyone".
Performances, acts and artists will be located across the town centre, in Somerset Square (riverside area next in front of the Brewhouse), Goodland Gardens, Castle Green, Taunton High Street, Orchard Shopping Centre, Somerset County Cricket Ground and Taunton Minster.
Speaking about the event earlier this year deputy mayor of Taunton Town Council, Councillor Martin Straus said: “We are delighted to be able to host this event, celebrating Taunton’s rich cultural offer and the diversity of our community. Holding it at the end of September is a wonderful opportunity to get together as a community before the winter sets in.
"This event will bring Taunton’s communities together, forging connections and friendships that will have a lasting positive impact on the town."
