Organiser Rachel Griffin said “There is such a wealth of sporting activity in our area week in, week out, and the Sports Fest is a great opportunity for kids of all ages to come and see the types of sporting activities that go on in Frome and have a go, completely free.
“We are also launching a voucher scheme to assist places at clubs for children who would otherwise not be able to attend. It is such a great opportunity – we hope that as many children as possible will join in.”
