  • Schoolchildren share artwork celebrating peace and unity

Artwork by pupils from a Frome primary school has been displayed at a community festival celebrating multiculturalism.

The work by children from St Louis Catholic Primary School was shown at the event at the Multicultural Festival at Cheese and Grain on Sunday 11th October, with pupils exploring themes of peace, hope and unity.
