Food, farming and lots of cheese at this year’s spectacular Cheese Show

The Frome Agricultural and Cheese Show returns this weekend on Saturday 13th September, promising an ‘unforgettable day’ packed with food, farming, and lots of cheese.

At the heart of the event is the prestigious Global Cheese Awards, attracting entries from across the globe. In the bustling Cheese Pavilion, visitors can sample award-winning varieties, meet the cheesemakers and learn about the history of the Cheese Show.

New for 2025, the Village Green will see Moto Stunts International, delivering adrenalin- pumping motorcycle displays, including high-speed ramp jumps, crossover quad stunts and gravity defying leaps over cars, vans and even tractors.

Alongside the stunt action, the Village Green will host a programme of live demonstrations and rural showcases, including falconry, the entertaining come-bye sheep and duck herding, the high-speed mounted games and the gentle giants that are the heavy horses.

In the Livestock Village, visitors can enjoy close encounters with cattle, sheep, dairy goats and pygmy goats. The Sheep Show returns once again with its unique blend of humour and education, featuring dancing sheep and live shearing demonstrations.

The Music Stage will provide the perfect soundtrack to the day, with Frome favourites, The Hammervilles, known for their high-energy rock covers spanning the 1970s to today. They will be joined by the much-loved Frome Town Band, with additional acts to be announced in the lead up to the Show. 

That’s not all as visitors can also enjoy the thrilling gate jumping competition, the grand parade of livestock, a nostalgic display of vintage vehicles, and the horticulture and home and handicraft exhibits that celebrate the skills and creativity of local makers and growers.

For families, the Little Showgoers’ Play Zone is back, bigger and better than ever. With completely free entertainment including pottery painting, sand art, face painting and even a Land Rover safari.

Advance tickets are available at fromecheeseshow.co.uk

Frustrated residents are calling for improvements to the town’s leisure centre, following repeated concerns about cleanliness and hygiene.

Users had previously raised concerns about the reliability and cleanliness of the facilities, with MP Anna Sabine campaigning for improvements and working with the centre’s managers to make changes.

  • Wild About Frome: Time to get seedy!

Hello, it’s Kerry here from the Frome Seed Library. 
Your free, permanent seed swap located inside our fantastic town library. We’ve now reached one of the most exciting times of the year for us seedy folk...seed harvesting time! 
But why bother saving seed when you could just grab a cheap packet of seeds from the supermarket next spring? 
Well, you see each and every seed, from the mighty 25kg coco de mer to the fine dust of the foxglove, is a perfectly evolved vessel of genetics, which given the right conditions will germinate and (hopefully) flourish. 
Whilst there is nothing wrong with buying your seeds, the vast majority of the seeds sold in the UK (around 80%) are overwhelmingly imported from overseas, where seeds have been grown in carefully controlled environments. This means your seed has no genetic memory of that soggy summer of 2024, your claggy clay soil, or the recent drought, whereas your plants at home will and for those that have continued to thrive despite everything, well that degree of hyper-local resilience and adaptability is something no seed company can replicate. 
As politicians warn of future food shortages, it is crucial to recognise the role of seed in increasing our local food resilience; they are our insurance policy but the type of seed and provenance is key.
