Going to Frome Independent Market Today? Have any of you been to Frome Independent Market? It's the biggest market in the area and possibly even in Somerset.It's so much more than a market! Got a large antiques section, food, drink, music and much more. It's Frome at it's best. It's on the first Sunday of every month takes place between March and December. If you are visiting the Frome Independent Market today why not go via the First Bus D2 bus (Frome's only Sunday bus service). The route is slightly amended and drops you off and picks you up in central Frome at Cork Street car park.

The times of the bus may be slightly later than per the Sunday timetable but would advise you still be at the bus stop at the usual Sunday times to be on the safe side. The D2 timetable can be accessed here: https://www.firstgroup.com/uploads/node_images/d2%20discover%20tt%20leaflet%20oct19%20WEB.pdf

Travelling By Car? Or perhaps you are looking to come to The Frome Independent by car. Why don't you try the park and ride out run by Frome Bus? You can park in one of the dedicated parking areas on the outskirts of Frome and get a bus into town. For more information: https://thefromeindependent.org.uk/visit/
