Famous Frome

Update – 2nd November

Unfortunately, this walk is cancelled –  Frome’s Walking Festival was due to take place on the weekend of Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th November, but due to national lockdown restrictions this is unable to take place.

If you have booked a ticket already we will be in touch, the walks may be rescheduled by the walk leader at a later date.

During lockdown you are able to go out and enjoy the outdoors either with your household or with one other person.  So you don’t need to wait to explore in and around our beautiful town you can download one of our walks from the town walks page.

Part of Frome’s Walking Festival 2020.

Regularly topping national polls as one of the coolest towns on the planet and best places to live, celebrity A-listers are often spotted on its streets and global rock-stars play its venues.

But Frome has always had an association with the rich and famous. From the birth of a sporting legend (no, not Jensen Button, but he is included) to the locations of prime-time television series, taking in well-known poets, writers, actors and musicians on the way.

Led by local historian and author David Lassman, a 90 minute walk, starting from the Discover Frome Information Point.

Book your ticket here.

All walks are limited to a max. of 6 (5 participants and 1 walk leader) to adhere to the Government covid guidelines.
