A new free music and drinks festival is set to take place in Frome this month as Friary Drinks celebrates its 30th anniversary.
Still Sisters and Friary Drinks have announced the launch of the Friary Festival, which will be held on Saturday 16th May at their Frome base, promising a full day of live music, food and family-friendly entertainment.
Running from 1pm until 10pm, the festival promises a packed day of entertainment for all ages, with free entry and no tickets required. Guests can enjoy live music throughout the day, delicious street food, family-friendly activities, and fully stocked indoor and outdoor bars serving favourites from Friary Drinks and Still Sisters.
“This special event is all about celebrating three decades of Friary Drinks with a full day of music, food, drinks and festival atmosphere,” said Ellie Robinson from Friary Drinks. “What started 30 years ago has grown into a much-loved independent family business, and Friary Festival is our biggest celebration yet.”
The live music kicks off with Scott Browne from 2pm to 3pm, performing crowd-pleasing acoustic hits. From 4pm to 6pm, The Buzzing Fridges take over with their full band and high-energy set packed with favourites. Closing out the evening, local Frome favourite DJ HZL takes to the decks from 7pm to 9pm with house anthems and throwback hits.
Food will be provided by Stallards, serving smoked meats and sides, and there will be outdoor seating available, with visitors also encouraged to bring camping chairs.
“Whether you’re joining us for an afternoon in the sunshine, coming for the live music, meeting friends for drinks, or dancing into the evening, Friary Festival is set to be one of Frome’s standout events this spring,” added Ellie.
“We are incredibly proud to have reached this milestone and excited to celebrate 30 years of Friary Drinks in true festival style.”
