Join Somerset's Top Attractions
Apply for SATA membership and earn the quality mark that tells visitors your attraction is genuinely worth visiting.
Why join SATA?
SATA membership is more than a badge — it's a statement of intent. When you join, you're committing to a standard of visitor experience that sets you apart. In return, you gain credibility, visibility, and a community of fellow operators who share your values.
Quality mark
Display the Somerset's Top Attractions badge on your website, signage, and marketing materials — a trusted signal to visitors that your attraction has been independently assessed.
Directory listing
Your attraction is listed in our public member directory, helping visitors discover you when planning a Somerset day out.
Constructive feedback
Our inspection process isn't just a pass/fail — you receive a detailed report with specific observations that can help you improve the visitor experience.
Peer network
Connect with other Somerset attraction operators through SATA events and communications. Share knowledge, collaborate, and support each other.
Annual reassessment
We work with you on an ongoing basis — not just at inspection time. Our team is here to support continuous improvement.
Marketing support
We promote member attractions through our website, social media, and partnerships with Visit Somerset and other tourism bodies.
