For hundreds of years the Somerset town of Midsomer Norton depended on coal mining and manufacturing industries, but nowadays its proximity to Bath and Bristol have turned it into a desirable home for many who commute to work in those cities. As a result, the town’s culture has become sophisticated, particularly in the sphere of music and food. The town’s local market draws crowds hungry for fresh produce, artisan food and entertainment.
