FROME Town FC has announced that it will be part of this year’s Frome Festival with a “revamped” summer event offering a huge range of activities for the public to enjoy.
The event, to be held on Sunday 4th July, will be called #BA11 Live and will comprise of three main sections – free morning and afternoon events and a ticketed evening event.
The club is hoping to get thousands of people on site on the day to enjoy family fitness sessions, opportunities to meet the teams, live music, an outdoor cinema, stalls, and much more.
The club says, “This year our annual summer event has been revamped and we’re working with Frome Festival to put on an amazing show throughout the day.
“The morning session – getting started it’s all about fitness, fun and football. As we will be looking to host a family fitness session, followed by the chance to watch our Men’s and Women’s teams in training action.
“Then the opportunity for up to 100 children of Frome (6-14), to join in and train with the teams, all run by our amazing 1st team players and coaches.
“All followed up with a unique chance to have your questions answered in a live Q&A with the managers and players from both teams.
“But that’s not all, alongside the on the pitch activities, we will have fun games, attractions, stalls and maybe a bouncy castle or two to keep everyone entertained. With food and drink available to all from an array of choices… and burritos!
“All ‘on-pitch’ activities will be free, but will require free tickets to be claimed on this website. Stay tuned to get more information on release dates.
“For the afternoon session, get into the swing of things, as we will be holding a live music show with our partners Frome FM, with acts and bands from our local Frome area putting on a show that can’t be missed. Join us for three hours of music hosted by the amazing Sara Vian.
“This is a free event and all are welcome. So grab a beer (or soft drink) kick back and enjoy a Sunday afternoon of entertainment.
“The evening session sees us open up our hallowed turf to turn into an outdoor cinema with a difference. A large screen will be erected in front of the clubhouse to allow up to 250 people to come and enjoy two amazing films.
“Starting with a family friendly film selection starting around 6pm and a blockbuster movie later in the evening.
“Adult and family tickets will be available from £10. Unfortunately children will not be able to attend without a paying adult. Ticket information and films will be announced shortly.
“So kick back, bring a blanket or two and enjoy!”

![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.
