As revealed in Frome Times in our last issue, the Frome Show is going ahead this year and details of the line-up have now been announced.
“Show tickets should be on sale from 14th May and there will be 4,000 available,” says Paul Cary, Show Chairman. “We hope more will be released after the government announcement on the 21st June which we hope we will see the relaxing of the number restrictions available at outside events.
“Due to safety restrictions, tickets will only be available online – a link will be available from our website www. fromecheeseshow.co.uk. They cannot be purchased on the day
“The show will be offering the same as it always does even if there is a restriction with numbers.”

Entertainment throughout the day will include • Extreme Bike Battle • heavy horses • mounted games • Shetland Gold Cup • Mere Falconry • Might Mr Smith – Strong Man • The Strolling Gardeners • A local beagles and hounds display.
The Music Stage will be showcasing local musical talent including the Jackdaws Choir who open the music stage and a very popular surprise, CBBC entertainer who will be making two appearances throughout the day (this is likely to be Andy from Andy’s dinosaurs)
