Glastonbury Festival's Emily Eavis will open the Frome Frost Fair this Thursday 1st December.

Throughout the whole of December, the Cheese and Grain will nightly become the largest advent calendar in Somerset! The public will be able to experience a light symphony projected onto the building synchronized in time with festive classics from over the years. The Cheese and Grain façade will dance, flash and be brought to life with a triumphant wash of colour and shapes, with a different Christmas theme every day showcasing a 10-minute light show looping every 20 minutes, as we countdown to Christmas.

Glastonbury Festival organiser and patron of the venue, Emily Eavis will be opening the first door on the region's biggest advent calendar, as well being the guest of honour at the Frome Frost Fair at 6pm on Thursday 1st December at the Cheese and Grain.

The Frost Fair situated alongside the Cheese & Grain will consist of a variety of stalls selling Christmas gifts and produce. Each stall will be under cover and dressed to look like a Christmas chalet, turning the whole area into a unique winter wonderland; the public will be able to watch the amazing light and music display then potter around our newly created Frost Fair surrounded by a veritable feast of festive goodies. There will be a bar, cocktails, food stands, workshops, children's activities, and even occasional visits from Santa himself.

The light show and Frost Fair will be happening alongside the regular markets, concerts and World Cup coverage taking place inside the Cheese and Grain throughout December. 

From the 19th of December until 24th December the venue will also be offering 3 sessions each night of winter roller discos in the Cheese and Grain hall up until Christmas eve.
