About this Event
Our event is open to everyone, but especially the photography community in Frome, along with anyone from nearby Bath, Bristol, Somerset, and Wiltshire.
Bring a camera and some film, maybe bring a friend, and come hang out with other photographers and chat about your favourite cameras, films, and printing projects.
The event is free, but please kindly book a ticket so we know you’ll be there.
The Venue
Located in the back room at Palmer Street Bottle, the space is cosy and quiet and perfect for conversation. PSB is a bar, so the event will be 18+. There are non-alcoholic drinks, and food (mostly very good cheese boards!) available. The full PSB menu and accessibility info is available
Safety & Accessibility
This event is a safe space for anyone who identifies as queer, trans, non-binary, women, and those who consider themselves any kind of neurodivergent. If you are feeling uncomfortable about an interaction at the event, please speak to the organiser (Mae) immediately, who will help with this.
Parking & Travel
Frome train station is a 10-min walk from the venue, with trains from Bristol and Bath every hour or so. If driving from outside of Frome, the nearest car parks are Vicarage Street (18 spaces) and Cork Street (72 spaces). Expect to pay £2.30 for about 3 hours.
Feedback & The Future
Future events will feature photo walks, print swaps, and creative hands-on workshops. If there's anything you would like to share, or if you have any suggestions for future socials, please email [email protected]
Community Rules
Be Kind. There is a place for critique in creative practice, but this social meetup is intended as a relaxed, welcoming space to encourage others and lift them up, not to shoot them down.
Print Your Work. If you would like to show off your photography, we ask that you bring prints! It's lovely to be able to show something tangible and there's plenty of space to spread out prints on the table for others to share and enjoy.
Screen-Free. Please bring your favourite film camera, but try to keep phones in bags or pockets where possible. Keeping the space, your hands, and your head available for connection and conversation is a key part of why we love all things analogue.
Comfort & Consent. Always ask for permission before taking a photo of another attendee, for any reason.(Yes, even if the light is really good.) If any images taken at the event are used for marketing future events, consent will be requested from subjects in the photos before posting.
