| Walk and Talk: Frome Tunnels | 18:00 |
Popular folklore holds that much of Frome is riven with tunnels. The Frome Tunnel group is on the case. The tour visits our work and will hear some of the historical detail. You won't be underground long, but there are some awkward spaces and lots of mud; information on dress and what to bring will be included with your ticket. Step into the past to see the fascinating structures hiding underground.
