Knightstone Housing has joined Frome Active to organise the event.
Jane Edmonds, assistant director at Knightstone said, “Along with our partners, we’re making a real difference to participation in sports and activities across Somerset. Over the next 18 months, we’ll be working hard to ensure that communities in Frome have access to sport in their area.”
Frome Active’s Azeema Cafoor said, “We are delighted to include a new arm of the Sports Fest curated by Knightstone Housing in the Mary Bailey playing field this year, and hope that this will be the start of a good arrangement for years to come.”
All sessions are subject to availability and to change. Children remain the responsibility of their parents at all times.
