Frome Festival Limited’s governing document, the Articles of Association, was revised by unanimous vote at the 2016 annual general meeting. All registered Friends of the Festival are the members of the charitable company.

The small central team of Festival employees comprises the Director, Manager and Bookeeper who work from a small office in the town centre. The office is also the hub for volunteers to coordinate the activities of the sponsorship team, and administer the Friends of Frome Festival scheme.

The Festival is supported additionally by a large body of volunteers in areas such as stewarding, brochure distribution, and participating in the Hidden Gardens scheme.
