Residents are being urged to get the date for the 2019 Frome Children's Festival firmly in their diaries in the lead up to the well-loved annual event.

The event is in its sixth year and was chosen by the local community as one of the People's Budget vote winners. And this year, the line-up is better than ever with activities on offer being suggested by local children during events such as Frome Town Council's 'Make it Happen' youth conference.

The ones to look out for include: two zip wires across the river, trail rider stunts and coaching on the pump track, graffiti workshops, games coding, circus workshops, fun science, a sensory area, crafts and lots more.

For the budding musicians, the Cheese & Grain's recording studio will also be open for music workshops. Fair Frome will be providing a free community lunch fair on the day from noon to 2pm although donations are very welcome.

Frome Children's Festival is brought to you by the same people who along with their partners, gave you The Sports Festival which attracted over 350 children, plus their families, to Victoria Park last month.

Frome's Children's Festival is must for all Frome families, it is completely free to attend and accessible as possible. To find out more about the event and what to expect go to www.fromechildrensfestival.org/childrens-festival/
