Westfest is returning to Shepton Mallet this autumn for what organisers are calling "The Last One", twenty years after the event first began.

The all-night dance festival is set for Saturday 25 October at the Bath & West Showground and is expected to draw around ten thousand people. Organisers Slammin' Vinyl, who have been promoting events since 1994, described Westfest as "the big one and the highlight of the rave calendar".

They said: "Westfest is the last man standing of the traditional big all-night raves. Taking inspiration from the classic 1990s events such as Dreamscape, World Dance and Helter Skelter, the mission in the noughties was to take the ethos of those shows and deliver an up-to-date version with the biggest line-ups and the most cutting-edge production."

Westfest has run every year since its launch, becoming one of the largest events of its kind in the country and a major fixture in Shepton Mallet's calendar.

A handful of tickets are already on sale for the 2025 edition.
