People only have a few days left to take advantage of cut-price tickets for the Discuss and Do business festival being held in Frome in February.

The sessions offer some real chances to get top-notch advice from well-know business experts at bargain prices where many of the sessions cost £10 or less if booked before the end of January.

Sunday Times Enterprise Editor Rachel Bridge will be in town on Thursday 23 February and there are three opportunities to tap into her expertise with entrepreneurs. Rachel runs workshops and talks across the country and often charges £50 or more for these sessions. Yet Frome people can join her joint workshop with Frome's Forward Space director Gavin Eddy for just £10 if they sign up before 31 January or hear her Edinburgh Fringe Festival show How to make a million before lunch at the Merlin Theatre for £10. She's also co-hosting a women's business lunch with fashion designer Pearl Lowe at The Archangel.

Numbers Coach Johnny Martin is also offering his three hour Create Your Business workshop on Saturday 25 February for just £7 if booked before the end of the month. Normally, his workshops at the British Library cost five times that amount.

Angel News' editor Modwenna Rees-Mogg is also offering her expertise on raising business finance in a session on Saturday 25 February for just £7 if booked in advance.

Pearl Lowe is also offering her advice on how to work with multiple retailers for just £5 in a session aimed at designers and makers who want to tap into her knowledge of how they could expand their range and sales.

A new session has also been added on Friday 24 February at The Salthouse work hub in Nunney where a Love to Learn event is being held to help people work out how they learn best, what their personal learning style is and how to create a learning culture to benefit your business, for just £5.

"We think we've put together a really interesting mix of speakers across the three days and we've made sure we've priced the sessions to make sure they're accessible to everyone's purses. Frome business people, creative industries and artists are being offering some exceptional expertise at extremely reasonable prices – and they can save even more if they book their places before the end of January," explained Neil Howlett, President of the Frome and District Chamber of Commerce.
