Frome Lantern Parade & Christmas Light Switch-On

The celebratory Christmas Light Switch On is set to take place on Friday 22nd November, 5pm to 7pm and once again, we're inviting residents to join in the festivities by making their own unique lantern for the parade.*
This year’s theme is Winter Woodland. Creations will include mice, deer, foxes and badgers and it’s your opportunity to get as imaginative as you can. If you’d like a bit of direction and guidance bookings are now open for the community workshops. The first one is at Frome Library, on Saturday 2nd November, 10-11.15am. The rest will be held at the Silk Mill: Friday 15th November at 5pm, Saturday 16th November, 10am-12pm and 1-3pm and Sunday 17th November, 10.30am-12pm and 1-3pm.
All the sessions are free, you just need to purchase the material kits which come in a variety of sizes and are available at the workshop or ahead of time from Discover Frome at the Library, or the Town Hall. Booking is essential; please see the event page.
Father Christmas is also coming to town thanks to local charity We Hear You (WHY). You can book a slot between 4.30pm and 7.30pm for up to four children to visit Santa in his grotto at the WHY office (opposite Frome Museum). The grotto costs just £4 per child, with a gift and a sweet treat and the money raised at the grotto supports WHY's vital emotional support services for children, young people and adults who have been affected or bereaved by cancer and life-threatening conditions.
We’re also very excited about the entertainment for this year, ranging from traditional Christmas cheer with Frome Town Band and Frome Choir, to international swing singer and showman Andrew Bourn, to the uplifting and energetic The Enrichments.
So make sure Friday 22nd November at 5pm is firmly in your diary and keep an eye on Frome Town Council’s website for more details. Find out more about Frome’s Light Switch On, book lantern workshops and find links for the Christmas card competition and the WHY Santa’s grotto at www.discoverfrome.co.uk/christmas-in-frome
* To ensure a healthy ratio of lanterns to people, the council team ask for a maximum of two people per lantern in the parade.
