A guide to the school summer holidays in Frome has been published by Discover Frome, including details of clubs and coaching, fairs and festivals, yoga, dancing, art and more.
Discover Frome is Frome Town Council’s one-stop place for residents and tourists to find information about local events, activities and services.
Cllr Tracey Ashford said the guide includes many free or low-cost activities. She said, “The six-week summer holiday and the challenge of keeping young people entertained is familiar to many parents. Local charity Purple Elephant is running free activities all summer, including the annual Frome Children’s Festival on Sunday 27th July between the Cheese and Grain and Welshmill Park, with free activities between 10am and 2pm.
“Although all Purple Elephant activities including the Children’s Festival are free, booking is essential; you’ll find the links within the Discover Frome guide. The guide is already packed, but information comes into Discover Frome all the time, so keep an eye out for other events and activities throughout the summer.”
Shared Earth Learning is running forest school sessions at their base at Vallis Veg from 10am to 3.30pm, on various dates in August (£40 per child plus £3.50 admin fee), plus some sessions geared to children with special educational needs (SEN) which run from 10am to 2.30pm, (£12 per child plus £3.50 admin fee). Booking is essential.
There’s also a litter pick from Welshmill to Weylands with Frome Families for the Future on 10th August from 10am to 11.30am, during Frome Walking Festival, the Carnival Fun Day on 19th July in Victoria Park and details of many paid-for holiday clubs, camps and activities in the summer holiday guide.
