The Frome Independent is an award winning, destination street market. We reclaim Frome’s high street once a month to showcase the best independent craftspeople, designers, makers, food producers and vintage traders in the South West.
The market takes place on the first Sunday of the month from March to December and strives to be ‘more than a market’, incorporating live music, DJs, street performance, workshops and activities for children and adults alike on market days.
The market is a free event for visitors and has quickly grown to be one of the most significant elements in the region’s calendar attracting over 80,000 visitors each year.
Visitors to the market can find contemporary craft, designer-made homewares, ethical clothing and jewellery in our Designer-Maker section, discover fledgling design start-ups in our Suitcase Sale, have a rummage through vintage nostalgia in our Flea Market or browse indoor plants, gardenalia and homewares in our Homes & Gardens section. Food lovers can discover local produce from cheese and cider to vegan cakes and kimchi. We work with Somerset Farmers Markets who curate a section for farmers, growers and producers. There’s also a huge and vibrant range of street food to choose from.

Illyria: Pinocchio
2026-09-06 15:00 - 16:30 | Merlin Theatre, Bath Road, Frome, BA11 2HG
Carlo Collodi’s classic is a perennial favourite. It is the third most translated book in the world, having appeared in no fewer than 260 languages since it was published in 1883, and has never been out of print. Childless toymaker Geppetto buys a piece of wood to make a puppet, little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away, but instead of excitement, only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers.
He returns home, hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations are just beginning. Running away hasn’t worked; lying won’t work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves. Collodi describes the development from puppet to real boy in the same way that useless green timber is matured into useful, well-seasoned wood – a transformation only achieved through trials of water and fire. Illyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show.
This performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets, cushions, and chairs. We welcome picnics, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather, this event will move inside.
Running time: 95 minutes including interval

Illyria: the Pirates of Penzance
2026-09-12 18:00 - 20:00 | Merlin Theatre, Bath Road, Frome, BA11 2HG
Frederick, accidentally apprenticed to Pirates as a child, is indentured to the Pirate King until his 21st birthday. On the day he reaches 21 he leaves the ship, announcing that he now intends to dedicate his life to the Pirates’ destruction. The Pirate King checks the contract’s small print – and realises that as Frederick’s birthday is 29th February on a leap year he has only had four birthdays and is actually indentured for another 63 years. With only the Penzance constabulary to protect him, will Frederick be forced to serve the pirates until he is 84? And will his sweetheart, Mabel, wait for him that long?
Performed by a six-strong cast of actors/singers with fully orchestrated accompaniment, The Pirates of Penzance boasts such gloriously memorable songs as “To be a Pirate King!”; “Modern Major General” and “A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One”. With razor-sharp satire and glittering wit, it remains as fresh as if it had been written today.
This performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets, cushions, and chairs. We welcome picnics, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather, this event will move inside.
Running time: 120 minutes including interval
