RETURN OF ARTISAN MARKET
Sunday 1st May sees the very welcome return of St. Catherine’s Artisan Market. The cobbles of Catherine Hill, Frome, will once again be bustling with artists, designer-makers, food producers and all manner of other creatives. Traders will be coming from all over the region, as well as some from further afield to sell their wares on this picturesque hill. Expect to see your old favourites, among some very exciting new stalls.
NEW EVENT LAUNCHING = THE FROME FLEA!
May I use this space to introduce to you the Frome Flea, the brand-spanking new sister-market to the Artisan. The Frome Flea is a quality second-hand market, with stalls selling antiques, collectable art, vintage clothes, fabrics, retro collectables, toys, homeware, etc. Everyone loves to discover a bargain, and a flea market is the perfect place for this. The Flea will run on the same day as the Artisan Market – 1st May – outside Frome Library in Market Yard car park, between 9.30am – 2pm.
There will also be a few hot food and drinks stalls, including fresh paella cooked in front of your eyes and Claud the Butler coffee van.
Don’t forget that there is plenty of free parking in town for both markets.
2011 DATES
I know a few people have been confused as to when the Artisan would start again, so let me erase all doubts… There won’t be an April or October Artisan, as it was decided that these two months were the most unreliable, weather-wise.
Dates this year, for both the Artisan Market and Frome Flea, are as follows:
Sunday 1st May
Sunday 5th June
Sunday 3rd July
Sunday 7th August
Sunday 4th Sepember
and Sunday 4th December (Christmas special!)

Ooh, sounds great! How do potential traders get in touch with you?
Hi, I am interested in getting a stall at Frome Flea. I make, paint and restore old pine furniture and also sell bric a brac. Can you send me booking information. I am local, living in Berkley Marsh, and would really love to sell so locally.
Regards, Mike
I am running a Spring Draw with PAC Frome and Fiat Lux for an artisan (me) large handcrafted luxury table lamp (H.32″ W.20″ value £150.00) and would very much like to promote it and sell tickets at the April Artisans Market. Would you please send me appropriate application info. Thanks. Suneith 01373 300 955
Sorry, made a mistake. Height of lamp is 23″ not 32. Whoops
