  • Studio launches fundraiser for popular tattoo artist 

A Frome tattoo studio is raising funds to support one of its artists after he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and is unable to work while undergoing treatment.

  • From The Mayor

Since my last column we have seen many events in Frome, including Frome Pride’s parade and the beginning of the Frome Festival.

The parade was the first stand-alone parade since Frome Pride’s inception in 2022. It was a joyous procession ending outside the library for music and speeches, stopping first in the Market Place for dancing and singing led by Ginny of Mojo Moves. 

Frome Festival kicked off its 25th anniversary year with the now traditional Food Feast. If the queues at the stalls were anything to go by then it was a huge success.
