Seed's guide to Frome Festival 2017
We know we will be enthralled and tickled by Gyles Brandreth's musings taking place at The Memorial Theatre on Friday 7th July 7.30pm. Gyles Brandreth Blah Blah Land It's hard to beat nosing around people's gardens, so we are very much looking forward to the annual Hidden Gardens which takes place on 7th, 8th July and 9th 11am-5pm. We love what these talented gardeners create, some in small spaces, some with the addition of amazing sculptures, one thing we know is it'll be inspiring and charming as always. It wouldn't be the festival without going to the Food Feast withfabulous food, great music and street theatre! Even in the rain this is guaranteed fun, we love this evening event where we get to sample lots of delicious food from local vendors, we've even been known to have a flash mob, so keep your eyes peeled. Frome Open Studios is a feast for the eyes and we know this year will not disappoint, with lots of artists we enjoy seeing every year they'll also be lots of new talent too. You can pick up a brochure from around the town, in particular Black Swan Arts. Or alternatively you can download a guide from the festival websitewww.fromefestival.co.uk Celebrate the honey bee and see developing bees in the comb as well as stored honey and pollen.
