The Frome Carnival Family Funday will be held on Saturday 19th July at Victoria Park.
The day will feature all the usual favourites including local stalls from groups and charities, the dog show, bonniest baby competition and the selection of this year’s carnival royalty.
Organiser, Mandy Morgan said, “We are looking forward to holding the event and welcoming the community to join us for all the usual activities and performances from Frome groups.”
New to the fun day this year is the carnival team’s very own ride-on train. “We were previously borrowing the Lions’ train. Harry, our shed manager, had the opportunity to purchase a ride-on lawnmower, and he’s done it up into a train. It looks great.”
With around a £2,000 shortfall this year, the carnival team are keen to raise as much money as possible at this year’s Family Fun Day. “We really need a good fun day,” said Mandy. “The Food Festival has very kindly let us have a stall where we sell cakes, and we usually make some money there too. We are also hoping to hold a few bingo events.”
This year, the Frome Carnival is also raising funds this year for the Under-7s football team, the Macular Society and the army cadets.
Held annually at Victoria Park, the event was due to run on 7th June. However, the carnival team, with support from Frome Town Council, postponed the event to wait for clearer weather, ensuring the festivities could be enjoyed by residents and the ground protected.
