Somerset is more than just countryside and beaches, it’s also got a great reputation for putting on amazing events that thousands flock to year after year – so Jack, our blogging friend and Haven fan, is back to give you a taste of what is going on here in 2016!
There’s so much happening here in 2016 that I haven’t got enough time or space to tell you about it all so I’ve picked out four, fun, free events that the whole family will love and that are only a short drive or walk from Burnham on Sea Holiday Village!
