  • Church fundraises for vital renovation project A church in Frome is fundraising for a vital renovation to save the historic building. Christ Church, on Christchurch Street West, was built in 1818 and is on a ‘heritage at risk’ list due to the condition of the roof, rainwater components, windows, heating and paintwork. To re-energise the sacred space, the committee Christ Church Future was set up. A member of the committee, Mary Gatliffe, said, “We are determined to ensure that the building is watertight, warm, accessible and welcoming. We are planning a renovation project which will address the roof, restore the windows, improve the heating (using sustainable energy sources) and ensure that the building is welcoming and accessible for all. “Visitors, churchgoers and the wider community have said that the building is important to them, whether as a place for worship, as a great venue for musical events, as a space for quiet reflection or simply as a visible part of the cultural heritage of Frome.” The weathered polycarbonate sheeting on some of the windows has already been removed, making the building look more open. Plans are also being drawn up for a permanent access ramp. However, to complete the rest of the work, the committee says a great deal more money will need to be raised. Read more on our website.

  • Young people bring powerful artwork to streets of Frome Young environmental advocates are set to bring a powerful, thought-provoking artwork to the streets of Frome. The group, aged seven to 18 years old, will carry a handmade globe sculpture created from rubbish collected on local streets, along with natural and recycled materials, from the Cheese and Grain to Rook Lane Chapel on 7th March. The artwork, called ‘Plastic Bones’, symbolises the heavy burden of plastic pollution on our planet and the vital role of everyone in holding up its future. Project coordinator of Frome Youth Climate Action, Chris Redmond, said, “This Green and Healthy Frome project, funded by the Lottery’s Climate Action Fund, based in Edventure and facilitated by Future Shed, started by looking at how much waste the world produces, around 400 million tons of plastic per year – roughly equal to the combined weight of all people on Earth – yet only about 10% of this plastic is recycled.” Read more on our website.

  • Cycling workshop to help women ‘get back on the saddle’ A workshop to help women rediscover cycling or try it for the first time is set to run on International Women’s Day. ‘Back on the Saddle’, is being hosted by Frome Community Bike Project and will be a relaxed, drop-in session taking place on Sunday 8th March from 10am to 1pm at the workshop at Station Approach. Led by experienced female volunteers, the event aims to be relaxed, encouraging and judgement-free. Organisers say, “It will be focused on building confidence, sharing information and meeting others in a welcoming environment. “Whether your bike’s been gathering dust or you’re feeling a bit nervous about getting started, you’ll learn how to give your bike a simple safety check, get tips on safer, quieter routes around Frome and have the chance to meet new cycling buddies. You don’t need to have a bike to take part, just come and find out about Frome Community Bike Project and ask anything cycling-related." Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.

  • Thousands of bargains at March Book and Record Fair A local long-running book dealership, Zardoz Books & Records, is hosting an Open Day and Bookfair next month.

  • Disco fun run for cancer charity A disco fun run to raise money for cancer counselling charity We Hear You (WHY) will take place on Thursday 12th March. The event is organised by local mother and son duo Rose Hiron-Grimes and Keinan Cooper, who are running the London Marathon this year for WHY. Participants will meet at The Crown Inn at 6pm for a 6.30pm start. The 5km flat route will see local DJ collective BassBeatz turn the streets of Keyford into a moving dance floor. DJ Lloydy will lead the run on his custom-built music bike, providing a disco soundtrack to dance, run, wheel, or walk along the route. There is a suggested donation of £10, which includes glow-in-the-dark accessories. Rose and Keinan have both seen friends benefit from WHY’s professional counselling and have experienced the impact of cancer bereavements themselves. Earlier this year, WHY launched an urgent fundraising appeal to raise £55,000 by the end of March to avoid closure. Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.

  • Screening to honour acclaimed Hungarian filmmaker Film fans in Keyford are holding a special event on 5th March to mark the death of Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr, who died in January. The event will be a screening of Tarr’s award-winning film Werckmeister Harmonies at The Crown Inn. Organiser Simon Keyes said, “Werckmeister Harmonies traces the collapse of the social order in a remote Hungarian town following the arrival of a sinister circus featuring a giant whale. “Renowned as a pioneer of ‘slow cinema’, his films are characterised by long takes, elaborate camera movements and stark black-and-white cinematography. They include The Turin Horse and the seven-and-a-half-hour masterpiece Sátántangó. Keyford Kino will be screening his award-winning film Werckmeister Harmonies (2000)." Read more on our website.

  • Fate of 1,700 Frome homes to be settled around Easter By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby The fate of a planned development of 1,700 new homes in Frome will be settled around Easter, the Planning Inspectorate has confirmed. The Selwood Garden Community (SGC) envisions the creation of new homes on agricultural land between the B3090 Marston Lane and the busy A361, along with commercial space, two care homes, a local centre (which shops and a possible medical centre), a primary school and a range of public open spaces and sports facilities. A public inquiry into the plans was held in Shepton Mallet in early-August 2025, with planning inspector Stephen Normington hearing from multiple local and professional witnesses and undertaking an official site visit. Eight months on from this hearing, the Planning Inspectorate has confirmed that Stephen Normington’s report has been formally submitted to housing secretary Steve Reed MP – with a final decision expected by early-April.

  • Bumper-packed events at this year’s Kindness Festival The Frome Kindness Festival has a jam-packed line-up of fun events in this year’s programme. Running from 14th to 21st March, festival highlights include the Annual Kindness Festival Lecture with time traveller and community activist Rob Hopkins at The Memorial Theatre. Rob will transport the audience to 2036, inviting residents to explore a future society reoriented around kindness and care. A line-up of top comedians will bring laughter to the Kindness Festival for ‘Random Acts of Comedy’ at The Tunnels, hosted by Adam Grierson. Creative writing tutor Derek Niemann and his photographer wife Sarah are running a ‘Write to be Kind’ workshop celebrating the generosity of spirit within us all. Poet, comedian and musician John Hegley is joined by Angie Arnold and Mike Tomes for their mid-March musings at The Good Heart. The Grief Opera, written and composed by Nigel Linacre and Vladimir Miller, will shine a spotlight on suicide, the most common cause of death in young men. Its creators hope it will enable people to have potentially life-saving conversations and to work with their grief. The Frome Grief Network will also be hosting a welcoming community event on the first day of the festival, offering a space to talk openly about grief and loss. Read more on our website.
