The popular Frome Flea Market & Craft Fair returns this weekend for its sixth year.
Situated at West Woodlands Showground just outside Frome, the event was established in 2021 by Peter and Claire Townsend and is held six times a year on the second Sunday of each month from April to October (excluding September) with the first event of 2026 this Sunday, 12th April.
Regularly welcoming over 250 stalls, the event continues to grow in size and popularity and also boasts a classic/supercar display and live music. This weekend will see the return of the resident due ‘The Sitting Tenants’ and also local singer Kelly Dale.
“There’s a lively mix of stalls both inside and out offering everything from antiques, vintage and retro items to handmade crafts, art and local produce,” said Claire. “There’s a great atmosphere and it’s much more than just a Flea Market & Craft Fair.
“There’s a great display of classic and supercars – all of which gain free entry to the event and it is becoming a popular meet, with over 100 vehicles on display last time.
“We’re on a spacious site with both inside and outside stalls and an abundance of parking.
“There are refreshments to suit all tastes, from Greek gyros, award-winning pasties, pork rolls, burgers and homemade cakes, to milkshakes and ice cream, all whilst soaking up the atmosphere and listening to the live music!”
The event runs from 9am to 3pm and entry is £3 with under-16s free. Further details can be found at https://www.fromefleaandcraft.com, phone 07722 752404 or email: info@fromefleaandcraft.com
![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
