Frome’s Annual Town Meeting takes place on Wednesday 2nd April from 7pm to 9pm. The meeting is held by the Mayor on behalf of the town and is an opportunity to celebrate some of the fantastic projects that are going on in Frome, with civic awards handed out to people to recognise their contribution to life in Frome. Community groups and organisations who have benefitted from community grants are invited to share an update on their work. Free refreshments will be provided by The Good Heart café and there will be live music by local musician Vicki Burke. Everyone is welcome.
For the second year running, the 2025 ATM has a ‘three-minute pitch element’ – open to anyone with an idea to share. Mayor Andy Jones said:
“Frome is full of proactive, community-minded people and we hope to see many of them at the Annual Town Meeting – and recognise some of them with a Civic Award. Last year’s ‘three-minute pitches’ were a great source of ideas and inspiration, a bit of ‘thinking outside the box’ for our town. This year, I’d like to invite people to share their ‘lightbulb moment’ for Frome 2030. No budget or balance sheet, no management plan – and no promises or prizes! This is, quite simply, your chance to share your big idea. Surprise us, inspire us, or even just amuse us – the floor is yours and the format is up to you, as long as it lasts three minutes or less!”
The Annual Town Meeting takes place at Frome Town Hall on Wednesday 2nd April from 7pm to 9pm. No booking is required to attend the event. If you have a question, or would like to register your interest in presenting a ‘lightbulb moment’ at the meeting, email Frome Town Council by Thursday 27th March at lflaherty@frometowncouncil.gov.uk.
