If you`re feeling ready to venture outdoors post-heatwave, what better way to do so than exploring the @frome_families_for_the_future x @friendsoftheriverfrome River Festival in Rodden Meadow this weekend 🌊

Sunday 28 June, 10am - 2pm: take a paddle to cool off and discover what wildlife our river is home to, get creative with arts and crafts, enjoy live music, learn to rap, watch the wonderful @selwood_bounds Morris dancers, get to know the organisations working hard to care for our river - there`s something for everyone. And it`s free!

Bring a picnic and the whole family, and let`s celebrate the River Frome. 💚 ...

@fromeweeklymarket is cancelled today due to the extreme heat. 🌞

All being well the market will be running as normal on the weekend - so make sure to head down to Market Yard from 9am on Saturday if you miss your market fix today!

Until then, stay as cool as possible, drink plenty of water, avoid the hottest parts of the day (11am - 3pm), check on those who are vulnerable and take care. ...

It`s a Frome Weekly Super Market tomorrow, as @somersetfarmersmarketsuk joins @fromeweeklymarket in the Market Yard from 9am - 3pm. With over 40 stalls promised, head into town to stock up on organic fresh produce, browse plants, vintage delights, gifts and clothing, purchase delicious food and drink from local vendors and much more.

Tomorrow`s market also comes with bountiful live music thanks to much loved annual event Frome Busks, taking place from 11pm - 2pm throughout the town centre. Students from @fromecollege and @selwoodacademyfrome take to the streets with their covers and original pieces, including music on the main stage outside the library, and buskers in different locations around town.

Make sure you head into town for a musically-magical mega market - you don`t want to miss it! ...
