What’s on this July

3rd: Group Bike Ride to Tytherington

We’ll be following a beautiful 9-mile route looping around Frome, taking in Nunney and Trudoxhill. This is a fairly easy ride on quiet roads with a few gentle hills. No one will be left behind and we have planned in lots of stops along the way – this is a social ride, not a fitness test or a race!

4th – 13th: Frome Festival 2025

From Friday 4th – Sunday 13th July, Frome will come alive with music, art and culture. With a multitude of events taking place across 10 days, the Festival aims to celebrate the best of Frome and bring top-name acts to the town. Events spill out into many places and spaces across the town – from venues and galleries to pubs and parks.

6th: The Frome Independent Market

Visitors to the market can find contemporary craft, designer-made homewares, ethical clothing and jewellery, have a rummage through vintage nostalgia or browse indoor plants, gardenalia and homewares. Also enjoy fresh seasonal produce from local farmers, growers and producers, from bakes and pastries, to meats, chutneys and preserves.

Frome Carnival Family Fun Day and Dog Show returns to Victoria Park on Saturday 19th July, 12-5pm. Free entry and lots of stalls from local small businesses , groups and charities.

24th: Kate Nash

Iconic, uncompromising, and fiercely authentic Kate Nash comes to Frome for a special intimate festival warm-up show you won’t want to miss.
