With street party season just around the corner, they're a great way to connect with your neighbours and inject a bit of fun into your street.

If you're planning a street party for the first time it can feel a bit daunting to get started, but it needn't be. Frome Town Council is hosting this free session on Tuesday 18th April at Frome Town Hall from 7pm – 8pm. The session is an ideal opportunity to get some advice and discover resources available, plus hear from people who have had first-hand experience of running events like this.

Hannah Stopford, Frome Town Council's Community Project Officer said: "We'll cover road closures which can take up to 12 weeks in some circumstances, event management plans, activity ideas, available resources and how to get everyone involved. There'll also be time for some Q&A's so make sure you bring all your questions."

Book your free space for the session on the 18th here.

If you're not able to make the session there is an 'Organising an event page' on the Town Council website which has a host of good advice, plus there's a whole load of community resources that you can borrow for free too.
