2025 FOOD TRAIL
PARTICIPANT FORM

2023 SOMERSET FOOD TRAIL

PARTICIPANT DETAILS

 

The 2025 Somerset Food Trail festival is now closed to new applications to take part. We are sorry that you are too late for this year's Food Trail, but please sign up to our mailing list to be notified as soon as the next Food Trail is scheduled.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 01 JUNE 2025

LISTINGS FEES

This year we have introduced a modest listings fee for most venues (non-profits and community groups are exempt) to enable us to cover our costs. Although the Somerset Food Trail is run by volunteers, it costs us hundreds of pounds each year just to keep the website going, and we also need funds to cover publicity and signage costs. The fee includes listing of your profile and event/s during the festival, inclusion in our interactive map during the festival – and your profile on our website all year round.

​

  • Standard listing fee: £20

  • Pubs, restaurants, eateries, cafés and shops: £40

  • Charities, CICs, CBS, not-for profits and smallholdings: £0​

 

After we have received your form, you will be emailed details of how to make your payment to us.

 

We have tried to maintain the balance between covering some costs and being as inclusive as possible, and we really don't want the listings fee to stop anyone taking part. If you think we have not got this balance right, please email us to discuss it. ​​

PUBS, CAFÉS &  RESTAURANTS

Once again, any eateries taking

part in the 2025 Food Festival must
include some locally sourced food in their menu for the ten-day period of the festival itself.

 

This doesn't have to be your whole menu but we will be contacting you ahead of the Food Trail for your local food menu, plus details of where you've sourced the local ingredients from – which we will upload to the website.
