Members of Frome Lions and Rotary clubs are assisting Father Christmas on his travels around Frome and surrounding villages. The float will be making visits across Frome until 23rd December.
Father Christmas would ask that residents are considerate when parking their vehicles on the day of his visit, in order that as many people, young and old can enjoy this long-standing Frome spectacle.
All monies raised will be used by the Lions and Rotary clubs in their local charitable work.

![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.
