Mrs W and I have tickets to a variety of events from Ian MacMillan to the Fashion Show, from the North Sea Radio Orchestra to the Alternative Guide to Frome. One of my recollections of spending the first weekend of the event in the town last year was that there was very little evidence of the Festival actually going on, if you just happened to be passing through. Where were the banners, the flags, the bunting, the outward signs of inner celebration? Even the local drama and operatic societies manage to string a banner across Stony Street or Cheap Street to promote their productions.

I know all this costs and times are currently hard, but hopefully when we roll up on Friday it will be plain to resident and visitor alike that Frome is truly 'en fête'. And, who knows, a few passing punters - otherwise unaware of the riches on offer - might then be tempted to investigate further...

Roll up to the market yard on Saturday 10 July and you'll see plenty going on at the frome feast.
ReplyDeleteok I meant the 7th.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anon. We'll be there! But I was thinking more of some evidence along Bath Street, Market Place, North Parade etc to lure passers-by...
DeleteI agree a few Frome festival banners would be great. They must spend a lot on the free booklets so a couple of banners wouldn't break the bank.
