THIS September will see the launch of the very first Frome Lit Fest.
Running from the 15th to the 24th of September, the festival will offer something for everyone – from bestselling authors to quirky off-beat books.
The festival is being launched by Winstone’s Hunting Raven Books, who will be programming the event with the support of Gill and John McLay – the couple behind the Bath Festival of Children’s Literature.
Tina Gaisford-Waller, manager of Hunting Raven, said: “This festival has been a long time in the offing, as Frome has long deserved a literature festival of its own, capturing Frome’s unique spirit with a fun mix of events. We’re really proud to be teaming up with The Merlin Theatre as our main venue and partner, and will be hosting additional events in venues around the town.
“The festival is being run exclusively by volunteers, with our committee already beavering away behind the scenes. But we are desperately seeking someone with expertise in fundraising to join our happy little team.”
If you think you fit the bill, or know someone who does, please do get in touch with Tina at Hunting Raven, by emailing Winstonebooks3@gmail.com or giving us a call on 01373 473111.
There will be more exciting Frome Lit Fest news to come shortly – so keep your eyes peeled!
