Frome Walking Festival
Frome’s annual Walking Festival offers a diverse weekend programme of guided walks, trails and activities for young and old alike. Explore Frome’s history and heritage and the beautiful surrounding countryside in walks ranging from easy afternoon strolls to longer riverside rambles.
The 2025 programme includes 19 walks over 3 days, centred around history, nature, the countryside and even dancing. 13 of the walks are free. Please click on individual walks for specific booking information.
Before the next walking festival why not get out and explore in and around our beautiful town with one of our walks which you can download from our town walks page.
