10 years of the best festival in Somerset

It's all over, wow what a ride! The best festival the town has ever seen, and we spoke to the head honcho to get a few gems of wisdom and his thoughts on the last 10 days:

Martin Dimery said:

“They made us laugh, they touched our hearts and we, the people of

Frome and the many hundreds who visited the town, made them feel

special. We had more events, more ticket sales, and more major acts

than ever before. The festival has turned our limited public funding

into a virtue, balancing the books by presenting popular shows

alongside more challenging work. I owe a huge debt of thanks to my

colleagues and the volunteers who helped bring this remarkable

celebration together. In its first decade, the Frome Festival has

established itself as the most diverse and successful community arts

festival in England. I look forward to the future of the Frome Festival

with great optimism.”

Even our local favorite politian David Heath sang our praises:

“From my experience, visitors who know and love going to

Bath are delighted when they discover Frome. The festival has become a

successful part of the process of introducing the town to a wider

audience. I suspect few other market towns this size in the UK could

boast the calibre of acts that visit year on year. The festival brings

real economic benefit to the town and I wish it every success in the

future.”
