Frome Festival celebrates the work of Benjamin Baker, the Frome engineer who designed the Forth Bridge, with a series of art and educational events. The festival also offers dozens of walks, talks, and workshops which actively involve, not only the local community, but thousands of visitors to the town. It is expected that up to 180 events will take place over the ten days.

Other events are likely to include performances at the Cheese & Grain, and the 5th Frome International Lying Championship at the Griffin Inn, The World Food Feast, Art Car Boot, Writers' Day, the Green Fair, Frome Tunnels, Somerset's scariest haunted walk and much more. Details of all performances will be published here when available.

The festival features classical, jazz, folk, and world music, plus literary events, film, art, walks, talks, and exhibitions throughout the town and surrounding area, drama productions, events for children and attracts performers from all over the world.
