More than a market........

The Frome Independent is an award winning, destination street market.

 

The independent market reclaim Frome's high street once a month to showcase the best independent craftspeople, designers, makers, food producers and vintage traders in the South West.

 

The market takes place on the first Sunday of the month from March to December and strives to be ‘more than a market’, incorporating live music, DJs, street performance, workshops and activities for children and adults alike on market days.

The market is a free event for visitors and has quickly grown to be one of the most significant elements in the region’s calendar attracting over 80,000 visitors each year.

 

The Frome Independent is produced and managed in Frome, Somerset by a small team of four Frome residents, who are supported by a dedicated team of local event staff on market days. Frome has been a market town since before the Norman Conquest, and our mission is to retain and celebrate this important aspect of the town’s identity.
