Frome hosts South West’s largest camera and photographic fair

Frome will once again play host to the South West’s largest celebration of all things photographic when the Frome Wessex Camera & Photographic Fair returns to the Cheese and Grain on Sunday 19th October. 

More than 30 specialist stalls will fill the venue, offering everything from modern digital gear to collectable vintage cameras, alongside lenses, filters, flashguns, film, books and old prints. For anyone with a passion for photography – whether seasoned professionals, collectors, or those just picking up a camera for the first time – the fair promises a real treasure trove. 

“If you’ve never been to a photographic camera fair, you’re missing a treat,” said David Chedgy from the Frome Wessex Photographic Club. “The prices are low, and you’ll find cameras, lenses and lots of other photographic accessories. 

“Camera fairs are very friendly places and the stallholders will be pleased to give help and technical assistance on cameras and photographic equipment.” 

It’s not only a chance to buy – it’s also an opportunity to sell. Anyone with cameras, lenses or accessories gathering dust in cupboards is encouraged to bring them along. Traders and enthusiasts alike are always on the lookout for good-quality second-hand equipment, and tables are available to book for those with larger collections to rehome.  

The doors open early at 8.30am for keen bargain hunters, with an Early Bird admission of £10, while general entry is £5 from 10am. Refreshments will be available throughout the day. 

Visitors will also have the chance to connect with the Frome Wessex Photographic Club, who will be on hand with information about joining the group and upcoming activities.
