Card Factory greetings cards shop and WH Smith, Frome town centre
In 2017, per head of population, more greetings cards are sent in the UK than anywhere else in the world. Birthday cards remain the most purchased type of card, followed by Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mothers Day and Fathers Day. Recent new categories reflect changing times, such as a card for passing your driving test, cards to congratulate (!) you on your divorce, and cards for many multicultural events too - Diwali, Chinese New Year etc. Easter cards, once unknown, now make up a significant portion of the spring season card sales.

Flag holder
Not content with a simple and functional piece of ironwork, Frome has made them with a local flavour. There are plenty of them all around the town centre.

Share in Frome
Share – a Library of Things - is at number 2 The Bridge in Frome.
Here you can share and borrow (almost) anything – from DIY equipment
to cutlery/crockery, furniture, arts/crafts materials, children’s books and clothes.
It's also a place for people to share skills and meet others in the community.
In March 2017, the scaffolding is on the Halifax Bank branch at number 3 The Bridge.
