Discover Frome’s summer holiday guide

A guide to the summer holidays in Frome has been released by Discover Frome, bringing together activities, events and attractions in one place for families during the school break.

The 2026 guide includes clubs, coaching, fun days, festivals, theatre workshops and more.

Cllr Tracey Ashford, from Frome Town Council, said, “The summer holiday is just around the corner and we know that sometimes filling six weeks with fun, engaging things for children to do can be a challenge. Look no further than Discover Frome’s holiday guide, full of information on a range of clubs, camps and events, including free or low-cost activities.

“Local charity Purple Elephant is bringing back its ever-popular Children’s Festival at the Cheese and Grain and Welshmill on Sunday 19th July, with free activities between 10am and 2pm. Although all Purple Elephant activities are free, booking is encouraged to help avoid queueing on the day. All links to what’s on are within the Discover Frome guide – it’s also best to keep an eye on the guide during the summer, as the guide is typically updated with fresh events throughout the holidays.”

Shared Earth Learning is running forest school sessions at Vallis Veg from 10am to 3.30pm on various dates in August (£45 per child), plus some sessions geared to children with special educational needs (SEN) which run from 10am to 2.30pm (£15 per child). Booking is essential.

There are also summer art sessions at the Phoenix Project throughout the holidays. A family day will run at Vallis Farm’s Summer Fete on 18th July, and celebrate National Playday at the Key Centre on 5th August.

Details of many other holiday clubs, camps and activities can be found in the Discover Frome holiday guide.
