Artistry and Low-Intervention Wines at Unfiltered Frome 2026

There is a raw, creative energy that defines Frome, and nowhere is that spirit more evident than at the Unfiltered Wine and Contemporary Art Fair. Set within the historic, light-filled Silk Mill, this event is a masterful celebration of honesty in craft—whether it’s found on a canvas or in a bottle. We are thrilled to be bringing our coastal raw bar back to Frome, joining a curated selection of low-intervention winemakers and artists for what promises to be a highlight of our summer.

A Celebration of Honest Craft

Unfiltered Frome is all about stripping away the noise to focus on the maker. It’s an ethos that resonates deeply with us at Oyster Buoys; just as low-intervention winemakers strive to let the fruit express its true terroir, we believe in letting the quality of our oysters speak for itself. We are looking forward to being part of a space where guests can move between a tasting of natural wines, a conversation about contemporary art, and the simple, bracing pleasure of a freshly shucked oyster.

Pairing the Coast with Somerset’s Finest

The fair is a phenomenal showcase for the UK’s most exciting producers. If you are looking for a local pairing to enjoy alongside our oysters, we recommend keeping an eye out for the vibrant, characterful wines from Wraxall Vineyard. Their dedication to English viticulture and their “On the Vines” event spirit make them a fantastic partner for a day of discovery. Their sparkling offerings often carry the precise, refreshing acidity required to perfectly cut through the saline richness of a fresh oyster.

We’re also particularly excited to be joined by Saddle Goose at the event. Their unique approach to quality and craftsmanship aligns perfectly with our own, and we can’t wait to see how their contributions elevate the atmosphere of the fair.

The Theatre of the Shuck

At Oyster Buoys, we specialize in the “theatre” of the shuck. In a venue as evocative and historically rich as the Silk Mill, our goal is to provide more than just a catering service; we aim to create an interactive focal point. We love the way an open raw bar invites guests to slow down, lean in, and engage with the provenance of the food they’re enjoying amidst the backdrop of music, art, and conversation.

A massive thank you to the organizers for bringing this unique fair to life for its 25th festival anniversary. It is a privilege to return to Frome and share our passion for the coast with such a creative and appreciative community.
