The Cheese and Grain is an independent music venue located in Frome, Somerset, United Kingdom. Originally built in the 1830s as a market hall for agricultural produce – specifically cheese and grain – it served that purpose until the 1970s. The building subsequently fell into disrepair before being rescued by local residents in the 1990s who transformed it into a community arts space and live music venue. It retains much of its original architectural character while functioning as a popular location for touring musicians across various genres. The venue is known for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to supporting both established and emerging artists. It operates as a social enterprise, reinvesting profits back into the venue and community projects.
