  • Volunteers spot 11 bat species in Frome More than 60 volunteers recently spotted 138 bats across 11 species at the Big Bat Count in Frome. Divided into 11 teams, volunteers received basic training and an introduction to the recording equipment from Somerset Bat Group at the town hall before heading out to a variety of locations across the town. As in previous years and as expected, common and soprano pipistrelle bats were the most frequently observed species in Frome. These were followed by sightings of serotine and noctule bats. Volunteers also identified greater horseshoe bats during the count, a species of significant conservation interest, although only one observation has so far been formally confirmed.

  • Frome woman completes 1,000-mile cycling challenge across the UK A Frome resident has completed a 1,000-mile cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats, raising money for a life-saving air ambulance charity. Naomi Crosby wanted to complete the challenge before turning 75 in July. She finished the journey from Cornwall to Scotland in 14.5 days, supporting the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance Charity with £700 in donations collected along the way. “It is one of the classic trips that a lot of cyclists set their hearts on doing,” she said. “Looking back, I actually really enjoyed it. I may not have said that at the time but the single-mindedness of it is really nice. Every day I got on my bike and cycled for about eight hours. Then I’d stop, eat and rest and do it all again. It is just wonderful.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. Pictured: Naomi (left) and her friend Sally at John O’Groats, Naomi, Naomi during the Land
  • Vallis Farm launches a summer programme of nature and gardening workshops Local residents are being invited to swap screens for soil this summer as Vallis Farm in Frome launches a new series of workshops exploring gardening, gut health, crafts and life outdoors.

  • Frome charity ‘devastated’ after vehicle theft A charity in Frome has expressed its shock after one of its vehicles was stolen and later found burnt out in a local field. Fair Frome, which runs the town’s food bank and furniture bank along with other services for people in need, reported that its white Ford Transit 350 was stolen from Oakfield Road between 10pm on Tuesday 19th May and 6am on 20th May. A van matching the description, which the charity uses to deliver furniture to residents, was later discovered burnt out with the engine removed on 21st May on farmland off Frome Road between Frome and Nunney, according to police. Following the incident, the community has rallied to show support for the charity. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. Pictured: The van, which had been stolen and burnt.

  • Mystery art installation appears at Packsaddle Fields An art installation that appeared at Packsaddle Fields recently has sparked mystery among residents, weeks after Somerset Council fenced off the land. The installation appeared at the site and remained in place for around a week. Signed ‘Packsy’ – an apparent nod to anonymous street artist Banksy – it featured a mannequin of a man in boxer shorts with the Somerset Council logo covering his face. The figure was shown pointing towards a woman sitting in a chair holding a baby. The words ‘money talks’ and ‘dirty cash’ were written on the mannequin’s leg. One resident from the Packsaddle area, Denise, said the installation seemed to represent someone in authority telling the woman to leave the field. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Film screening on female downhill skateboarding A documentary sharing the story of female skateboarders’ courage, friendship and self-discovery will be screened at the Merlin Theatre. ‘Woolf Women: Now or Never’ will be screened on Thursday 18th June. The screening is being hosted by Frome Skatepark Project (FSP) and Frome Town Council, and is raising funds towards the creation of a new skatepark at Mary Baily Playing Field in 2027. Organisers say, “Following five young women on an epic journey across Europe to the ancient Sumela Monastery in Turkey, the film is part skate adventure, part road trip and part celebration of friendship, courage and pushing yourself beyond your limits.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • 100-year-old Frome oak tree saved from axe despite damage to nearby home By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby A 100-year-old oak tree in Frome has been saved from being chopped down following a decision by Somerset Council. The tree lies within the back garden of an address in Collett Way. The property’s resident applied for permission to remove the tree (which has been subject to a tree protection order since 1989), claiming that it was responsible for subsidence in her garage and conservatory. But Somerset Council has refused the request, arguing that the tree has “outstanding amenity value” and that removing it could actually worsen damage to the property. The resident’s agent said that there was ‘clear evidence of subsidence-related damage’ to the property, including sloping and cracking to the garage floor and ‘significant cracking’ to the external and internal walls of the conservatory.

  • Biggest-ever Pride celebrations in Frome Frome is set for its biggest-ever Pride celebrations with live performances, theatre, a community gathering and the very first standalone Pride Parade.

Celebrations begin on Sunday 7th June with the return of the Frome Pride Youth Stage Takeover at The Frome Independent, showcasing a new generation of LGBTQ+ performers and speakers from 11am to 3pm. Thursday 11th June sees a production of ‘The Luxurious Time: A Queer Love Story’, a moving play written and performed by Martin Lewton, at the Merlin Theatre.

  • Orchardleigh Ladies’ Away Day The Ladies’ Section at Orchardleigh Golf Club headed off to Oake Manor Golf Club near Taunton for their annual ‘Away Day’ this year. It was organised by Lady Captain Jan Light who did a great job planning the day so that everyone had a good time. The course was looking fantastic although the weather was a bit damp and drizzly, which reflected in the rather low scoring. The format was a three-ball waltz, one, two, three scores to count. The best team score for the day was 63 points achieved by Jan Light, Rachel Priddle and Jenny Merrett. The runners up were 10 points behind, brought in by the four-ball Pat Pitt, Lin Handley, Sarah Doble and Diana Bullock. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
