FROME is gearing up for the biggest and best ever Frome Festival which gets under way this Friday, 4th July.
It has been hailed the top small town festival in the country by the Sunday Times and organisers have signed up some of the best comedy acts and live musical talents the country has to offer, alongside fascinating talks, exhibitions and workshops. And in a jam-packed programme of over 200 events, there is something for everyone.
Highlights of the festival which runs from 4th-13th July include Paul Merton, Seann Walsh, Jeremy Hardy, Paul Chowdhry, The Levellers, Inspiral Carpets and many more.
The World Food Feast on Saturday 5th July is another highlight and offers a chance to eat, drink and enjoy live music in Frome’s riverside setting, with an exciting mix of World food stalls offering a range of cuisines. There will be plenty of space to stand and dance, or sit and relax, with a dedicated area for children’s activities put on by the Frome Children’s Festival.
“We are delighted to welcome the top notch funny men, straight off the telly and on to a stage in Frome!” said the Festival’s Creative Director Martin Dimery.
“On offer is mix of new, re-cycled, up-cycled and vintage events, together with the annual smorgasbord of truly outstanding musicians, writers, artists, sculptors, poets, comedians, actors, storytellers, pot holers, secret gardeners, literary agents, street artists and revellers.
“This is an event for the people, by the people – a festival with our vibrant community at its heart.”
