Frome is famous for its lively independent spirit. The cobbled streets of Catherine Hill and Cheap Street are full of unique shops, cafes, and artisan finds, and the town’s monthly Frome Independent Market is a real event — buzzing with food, crafts, live music, and a welcoming community feel.
When it comes to family days out, Frome doesn’t disappoint. Victoria Park is a local favourite, with a cafe, playground, tennis courts and open green space for running, scooting, or picnic lunches. Rainy afternoon? Head to the Westway Cinema for the latest releases in a cosy, retro setting, or pop into The Rye Bakery, set in a former church, where the kids can enjoy freshly baked treats while you grab a great coffee. For lazy weekend brunches or a bite with friends, Projects (a popular vegetarian café) and The River House by the bridge are two of the town’s most loved foodie hangouts.
Frome has a wide range of schools across all stages. Families can choose from well-regarded first schools like Christ Church, Hayesdown and Vallis; middle schools including Selwood and Oakfield; and Frome College for older children, which offers a modern curriculum with strong arts provision. There are also independent options like Springmead, plus specialist schools ensuring inclusive education across the town.
The town also has a surprisingly big arts scene, with venues like the Cheese and Grain hosting major acts, and the annual Frome Festival filling the streets with theatre, workshops and performances. Despite its creative, small-town feel, Frome stays well-connected by rail and road, making day trips or commutes manageable while still enjoying a slower pace of life.
