🌟 A quick reminder for our Scrapstore community! 🌟

Little Scrapstore will not be open tomorrow (Tuesday), as we’ve moved our opening day to Wednesdays, 10am–12pm, starting this week.

Back by popular demand and thanks to a generous donation last week, we now have lots of great puzzles in stock - and can start running our Puzzle Swap from Little Scrapstore.

🧩 Swap a puzzle for £1
🧩 Buy a puzzle for £2

Space is limited so we won’t be able to take lots of puzzle donations, but as we’re open every Wednesday, you won’t have to wait a month to find your next puzzle fix!

📢 Little Scrapstore Update

Sadly, our Little Scrapstore will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday 30th June). We apologise for any inconvenience.

There’s still plenty of opportunity to visit us this week as we’ll be open during the The Frome Independent on Sunday, from 10:00am – 3:00pm. We’d love to see you!

We’d also like to let you know about an important change to our regular opening times.

🗓️ Tuesday 7th July: Open as usual, 2pm – 4pm

From Wednesday 15th July, our regular opening day will change to Wednesdays, and we’ll be open from 10am – 12pm.

We’re making good progress towards increasing our opening days, but we still need a couple more volunteers to help make that happen.

💚 If you, or someone you know, could spare just a couple of hours twice a month, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch to find out more!

Thank you for your continued support.

Sadly, there won’t be a Little Scrapstore opening for independent market-goers this Sunday, as our team will all be enjoying some well-earned family time (and probably eating far too much chocolate! 😂🍫)

There will still be plenty of opportunities to visit Little Scrapstore on Tuesdays, and again at the next Independent Market on 3rd May.

We’ll send a reminder about times closer to the date, but if you’re looking for family-friendly fun during the Easter holidays, the Scrapstore team will be running FREE spring craft activities at the Key Centre Café on 9th and 16th April🐣🌸

We hope to see you there!

The feedback has been incredible — thank you to everyone who has supported us 🥳

You can pop into our Little Scrapstore every Tuesday from 2–4pm to see the transformation !! It’s a fun place to be, and we’d love to welcome even more people through the door 😊

We’d really like to open for more hours, so if you have some spare time and would like to support us, please get in touch 💚♻️

The Little Scrapstore relaunches after community support

A scrapstore nestled in the heart of Frome has relaunched following a community effort to reorganise the space.

The Little Scrapstore, run by The Pod Charity, had been closed for two months. During that time, an army of volunteers and Frome Town Rotary helped transform the space, giving materials a second lease of life. Many items were generously donated by Sydenhams.

Mayor Cllr Anita Collier attended the reopening last month to see the revitalised space beneath Frome Museum on Justice Lane.

The Pod Charity manager, Sue Paxton, said, “The result is a calmer, more organised space that is not only more appealing and accessible for customers but also better suited to support the adults with additional needs who are working and learning within the Scrapstore."

How exciting! We’ve loved hearing all the busy moving upstairs in the Frome Museum while we’ve been beavering away downstairs 😂

We’ll be reopening our Little Scrapstore under the Museum next week too – perfect timing for a visit to both! See you at the Frome Independent Market on Sunday 1st March, 10–3 ♻️

Lots of exciting things happening at the Museum, in preparation for opening up
on Sunday March 1st, 11.00 - 1500 pm

The opening date is the first Independent Market day of 2026 - so please pop along to see us!

The countdown is on… 👀✨

We could honestly keep sorting and reorganising forever… but it’s almost time to reopen Little Scrapstore, so watch this space! 😅📦♻️

A massive thank you to everyone who’s popped in with kind words and encouragement while we’ve been buried in boxes, it’s kept us going more than you know 💛

We’re nearly there now and can’t wait to welcome you back through the doors!
