Showcase Shepton is an informal and entertaining evening where ten community groups and businesses that make Shepton Mallet special let you know about what they do and their experiences working in Shepton. Each one has a five minute slot, before the cowbell clangs. It’s a bit like speed dating your town without the actual date or the anxiety!

We aim to have 2 or 3 Showcases a year – for the next one see below.

If you can’t make the showcase, then we upload videos of each of the presentations in the weeks that follow on our social media channels.

The next Showcase Shepton will be in March 2024 – get in touch if you would like to reserve one of the ten 5-minute slots.
