Christmas is coming to the museum!
Next weekend, on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 December, we will be holding our popular Christmas event, to coincide with the final Frome Independent Market of 2023.
Our volunteers are already hard at work to fill the museum with festive cheer.
Save the date and come and join us for some festive fun, mulled wine and mince pies.
