FROME’S Steiner Academy will be holding its annual advent fair this weekend with a range of stalls, games and entertainment for all the family.
The Steiner Advent Fair is organised by parents of the school each year and welcomes the public in from the chill for hot food and cakes, stalls, and craft activities against the backdrop of a festively decorated building.
This year’s event will take place at the Steiner Academy on Park Road on Saturday 19th November from 11am to 4pm Entry is free.
Organiser Siera Scillitoe-Morris said, “The artisan market traders will be selling their beautifully hand crafted wares – it’ll be a great opportunity to browse and buy unique Christmas presents from over thirty stalls in Chantry Hall.
“Some very special classical and folk live musicians are performing and the parent and children’s choirs will be raising the roof of Auriol Hall.
“Beeswax candle dipping and traditional wreath making are a lovely advent presence. Wonderful children’s craft activities such as gingerbread decorating and natural potion making (perfect for Christmas gifts) will be in craft alley.
“There is the ‘children only’ shop to visit and the ‘Lucky Dip Wizard’ will be found wandering amongst the stalls and halls!
“Authentic storytelling in the Kindergartens, a children’s advent garden, circus workshops and perhaps the mysterious, magical King Winter will visit this year! At 3pm the raffle will be announced with incredible prizes.
“Each year the entire school pulls together to bring this wonderful seasonal event to the community of Frome. It’s a great fundraising effort and there’s so much for adults and children alike to do, taste and experience as well as fantastic entertainment.
“So please come along for a touch of festive spice and experience the warm heart of the day – the seasonal calendar wouldn’t be complete without a trip to this beautiful community advent fair!”
![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.
