A free prostate cancer testing day will take place at Wells Town Hall on Saturday 21 February 2026.

The Somerset Prostate Support Association (SPSA) is offering confidential tests for men aged 40 and over between 10am and 4pm. Each test takes 10–15 minutes and will be carried out by qualified medical practitioners.

Every year 40,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer and around 10,000 die from the disease. Organisers say early diagnosis can be crucial to successful treatment.

Appointments last around 10 to 15 minutes and must be booked online in advance. It will not be possible to be tested on the day without a prior booking. All tests are confidential and carried out by qualified medical practitioners.

Peter Hopwood from SPSA said anyone with questions about the event can get in touch on 01458 441669 or email [email protected]
