The Sandford pub marked the occasion by showcasing some local traditions, including cider, cheese and a show from the Mendip Morris Men.

Sandford School pupils’ paintings were displayed at the inn, depicting their favourite sights in Somerset.

Thatchers manager director Martin Thatcher said: “We have a great heritage in Somerset and Somerset Day is the perfect way to tell people across the UK what a great place we all live in, and what amazing food and drink is produced here.”
