Experience Ilminster Community Interest Company was set up in 2007 following a public vote on the awarding of a grant from South Somerset District Council. As a Community Interest Company all of the people involved in its administration and activities, including its directors, are volunteers and receive no financial benefits and any surplus the company makes has to be retained to benefit the community. Exil, as it is commonly known, acts as a community resource and its facilities and experience in promoting events is available to other community groups or for public celebrations. Its purpose is to celebrate and promote Ilminster and its community in all its variety and to raise the town’s profile in the surrounding area.
