A seasonal festive market featuring the work of local artists and craftspeople will run over the first weekend of December.
The market, which launched last year, is organised by Frome Open Art Trail and will include individual and original works from local artists and craftspeople with a range of textiles, jewellery, paintings, cards, glass, ceramics and more. It will run at The Bennett Centre on Vicarage Street from Saturday 6th to Sunday 7th December, coinciding with the Frome Independent Market.
Sue Willis of Frome Open Art Trail said, “In the beautiful Bennett Centre, visitors will have a unique opportunity to meet a varied selection of artists and makers from the summer Frome Open Art Trail, browse their beautiful work and find some unique gifts.
“The market is open Saturday from 10am to 5pm and Sunday from 10am to 4pm, prime holiday shopping time!”
“Artists and makers will be exhibiting on both floors of The Bennett Centre and the Victoria Park Community Café will be supporting the event, offering refreshments, cakes and snacks so visitors can take a break, relax and recharge while enjoying the centre.”
Committee member Hilary Davies added, “The Frome Open Art Trail and its Christmas Market are organised and run by a dedicated team of volunteers. For some local artists, these events represent the only opportunity they have to display and sell their work in their hometown. The team would particularly like to thank both the Victoria Park Community Café and Dennis Maps for their valuable support for this event.”
