Welcome to the Frome Lit Fest! This year’s festival – our first – is bubbling over with big ideas, big dreams, big journeys, and simply brilliant books.

With its long-standing reputation for brilliant literary events, writing workshops, and an award-winning independent bookshop serving the town, Frome has long deserved a literature festival of its very own. And now it has one!

Frome Lit Fest is not-for-profit and completely volunteer run. This year's programme is brought to you by festival directors Gill and John McLay (from Events of Wonder) who have working closely with Winstone's Hunting Raven Books - Frome's award-winning independent bookshop.

As we are in our infancy (with Covid seeing us off to a later start than intended) we are currently seeking contributions - big and small - to help us lift this exciting endeavour off the ground. We are currently working towards becoming a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), but have sadly missed the boat for this year - which has meant we haven't been eligible for many of the grants that could become available to us in subsequent years.

Which is why we need your help! If you would like to see us make a success of Frome Lit Fest 2022, and help us make the festival a permanent feature on Frome's cultural calendar, please do contribute what you feel you can. All donations are very gratefully received.

Thank you so much for your support!
