More than 50 people dressed as Kate Bush filled Frome town centre on Saturday as a large-scale flashmob brought Catherine Hill to life.
Dressed in dark wigs and grey outfits inspired by the ‘Running Up That Hill’ music video, participants gathered for a performance aimed at boosting social connection across the town.
The event was launched by town crier Martin Scott, who opened proceedings with a call for people to be “more kinder, more joyful, less distant, more odd.”
The group then proceeded up Catherine Hill before performing a routine to Running Up That Hill, with music played across the street.
They later continued dancing at St John’s Church before gathering at Boyle Cross for a town-wide drone photograph.
Organiser Ginny Adams said she was overwhelmed by the response.
“I was blown away, the turnout was incredible,” she said.
“It was just a silly whim I had a notion to do. It was all about connection, not perfection and everyone has come and brought their A game.
“I would love this to become an annual thing, a Kate Bush day in Frome at this time of year. I never expected this many people to get behind it.
“It just shows what can happen with positive attitudes and people coming together.”
The event, on 30th May, formed part of Frome Connects, a series of initiatives throughout May aimed at strengthening community ties.
