You’ll find an amazing selection of jewellery, ceramics, homewares and fragrance, apparel, skincare, accessories and original artwork.
7th-16th December – Elf – The Musical
Enjoy a family favourite on stage for the true spirit of Christmas at the Merlin Theatre this December. After all, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
8th-23rd December – The Little Matchgirl & Happier Tales
This festive season, join Wise Children at The Lucky Chance in Frome for a show full of warmth, wit and wonder. Steeped in the metaphor and meaning that run through Andersen’s enduring stories, this will be an event to delight, transport, move and surprise. For adults and brave children alike, expect music, puppetry, dark magic… and perhaps some modern truths that we all might rather remain hidden.18th-21st December – HAF Kids Christmas Holiday Camp
Premier Education are running a multi-activity Holiday Activity & Food (HAF) programme at Avanti Park School this Christmas holiday – a free holiday camp for children eligible for free school meals. “Our holiday camps have been making kids happy for over 20 years, and this Christmas will be bigger and better than ever. Our super fun sessions are jam-packed with safe activities for every child to enjoy.”
19th December – Frome Climate Café
Climate change is complex topic that touches many parts of our lives. We might consider it’s impact on our health and wellbeing, our choice of lifestyle, how we choose to spend our money, what it means for people we care about, or how it affects our mood and emotions every day. We are delighted to re-start Frome’s monthly climate café, for anyone looking for a welcoming space to either voice their experiences, or simply come along and listen.
23rd December – Frome Town Band Christmas Spectacular
You are invited to sit back and enjoy an eclectic mix of music, specially selected to evoke the spirit of Christmas, played by Frome’s very own community brass band and showcasing the players of the future.
