Band of HM Royal Marines, Rich Hall, Children’s Easter Party & The History of Rock.
THE Memorial Theatre has a busy line-up of music and entertainment for the coming months.
Saturday 14th March 7.30pm – The Band of HM Royal Marines. In 2020 the Frome Royal Naval Association celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Royal Marines Band concerts at the Memorial Theatre.
Organisers say, “This fundraising event has supported various activities in the area including local Sea Cadet unit TS Achilles. This has been possible because of the vision and hard work of one man, Shipmate Ken Ring; we are determined to continue with the gift he left behind.
“We invite the people of Frome who have supported us over the last 24 years to join us again and bring along a friend to experience this wonderful evening of music, pomp and humour.” Tickets £18.
Friday 3rd April 8pm – Rich Hall’s Hoedown Deluxe. Rich Hall’s comedy/music locomotive keeps on rollin’. Ever-evolving, ever-changing, Rich’s combination of keen acerbic stand-up combined with spit and sawdust alt-country lyricism is a “win-win” (Guardian), as sold out crowds across the UK have attested. Fans keep returning because this show goes where other comedians wouldn’t dare: Barrow-in-Furness for example.
Rich’s acclaimed BBC4 documentaries (most recently Rich Hall’s Red Menace) and his Radio 4 series Election Break-down have established a whole new legion of followers. He’s also a stalwart of QI and Have I Got News For You. But seeing the Hoedown is a whole different experience. Gut-busting, rib-tickling, toe-tapping, and muck-kicking, Rich Hall’s Hoedown Deluxe covers the full anatomical spectrum.
Strictly 14 years plus – Parental Guidance, likely to be swearing and adult content. Tickets £17.
Saturday 4th April 2.30pm – Children’s Easter Party at The Assembly Rooms. We’re having an Easter Party and you’re invited! Come on down to our Assembly Rooms (rear of Frome Memorial Theatre) on Saturday 4th April, 2.30pm – 5pm.
Dance to your favourite tunes with PDJ Disco, join in with an Easter Egg Hunt and try and win a prize for The Best Easter Costume. The Easter Bunny will be joining in with the Easter fun too! Bar will be open for refreshments and light snacks. Tickets are £8 per child, adults are free. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets from our box office.
Saturday 18th April 7.30pm – The History of Rock. The History of Rock is a celebration of rock music through the decades. A jaw dropping night transporting you through the golden ages of rock! Featuring the music of artists such as Led Zeppelin, Cream, Guns n Roses, AC/DC, Queen and many more.
Rediscover the seeds of rock & roll in the 1950s, the birth of rock in the 60s, right through to the classic rock of the 70s and 80s.
A must see for any fan of rock! Experience this iconic music brought back to life by an exceptional 8-piece band consisting of some of the finest musicians and performers from around the world, original visual footage of the featured bands and artists, as well as incredible concert staging and lighting.

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
