Save the Date: Somerset Business Expo returns on Wednesday the 9th of June 2027

Thursday 16th July, 2026

Following the success of this year’s Somerset Business Expo, Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce has officially confirmed that the event will return on Wednesday the 9th of June 2027 at Junction 24, Bridgwater.

After welcoming hundreds of visitors, 75 exhibitors, inspiring guest speakers, practical workshops and free business support sessions in 2026, planning is already underway to make next year’s Expo even bigger and better.

Businesses are now invited to register their interest to receive the latest updates as plans develop throughout the year. Those who sign up will be among the first to hear about exhibitor bookings, workshop and speaker announcements, networking opportunities, visitor registration and the full event programme.

The response to this year’s Somerset Business Expo exceeded all of our expectations. The conversations, opportunities and feedback from businesses showed exactly why Somerset needs an event like this. We’re excited to already be looking ahead and can’t wait to do it all again in 2027.

Roger Smith, General Manager of Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce

Whether you attended this year’s Expo or missed out, now is the perfect time to secure your place on the mailing list and follow the journey as Somerset’s biggest business event returns.
