Frome at War

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

Frome at War discovers the contribution Frome and its people made during the two World Wars as well as stories about evacuees, Dunkirk survivors, American GIs and more.

Follow in Field-Marshall Montgomery’s footsteps, locate war graves of many who gave their lives, as well as Frome’s very own VC holder, and discover both the story behind Frome’s Official War Memorial and the night the town was bombed by the German Luftwaffe.

A ninety-minute walk led by local historian and author David Lassman.

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