A day of autumnal delights at Frome's Pumpkin Day: Harvest Swap and Food Festival. This event is all about celebrating food, and at the heart of it all is our Harvest Swap: Bring your homegrown treasures (fruits, nuts, veggies, flowers, plants, seeds, and homemade preserves) to share and swap with others! 

You can explore a tantalizing array of stalls showcasing the best local food products, many from within 20 miles of the venue. Dive into the heart of the community food and growing projects that make our town so special and find your inspiration with free talks and workshops. We've got lots of kids' activities to keep them entertained. Artist Cherry Truluck will be there with her 'What grows together, goes together' food table, plus we're making a delicious hyperlocal food experience for your taste buds at lunchtime.
