FROME Selwood Horticultural Society, along with Frome in Bloom, are hosting their annual Plant Sale at Selwood Academy on Saturday 25th May. Doors open at 9:30am.

Along with tables full of annuals, perennials and vegetables, there will be plenty of home-made produce, with cakes and jams galore.

“Garden books and bric and brac from the garage are favourites but please bring cash as card sales will not be available,” say the organisers.

“And bring your hessian bags and boxes as well. Plant creche available while you mix and mingle!”

Selwood Academy is on Berkley Road, BA11 2EF.

  • Meet the free social running group bringing residents together – one pastry at a time! A free running group in Frome is celebrating its first anniversary after a year of helping locals get active, make friends and discover the town – one pastry at a time. Plod for Pastries, a free, no-pressure running group, was launched last May by two Frome locals Katie Geddes and Ben Wood, who were looking for local clubs to join and meet new people in a fun and active way. As keen runners, they were already running to cafes for coffee and pastries, and to pubs then decided to extend the invitation to others in the community. One year on and the group has grown in popularity with an increasing number of people joining to take part in the weekly 3km to 10km runs. The idea is that the group meet for a run then head to further socialise and eat or drink in one of Frome’s restaurants, cafes, bars. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Helping plants and wildlife in the climate chaos Greetings, this is Peter from the Wild Bunch. This March was the sunniest ever in southern England, with some record-breaking temperatures and long dry spells. Hence, wildfires are occurring in the moors while dry winter bracken and grass have not been replaced with less flammable new shoots. While these fires clearly have a devastating impact on both plants and animals, the underlying climate chaos is much more concerning. Most plants use two triggers to emerge from dormancy: day length and an accumulation of average temperature or number of days above a certain level. This means that even if there is a long warm spell, a plant won’t emerge unless day length says it’s the ‘right’ time. But extremes of unexpected temperatures can cause a plant to override the daylight trigger and emerge or flower anyway with two painful consequences. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Phase two of Frome’s Missing Link’s project officially reopens By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby with further reporting by Frome Times Phase two of Frome’s Missing Link has officially reopened after being resurfaced, following a successful fundraising campaign. The 1.3km path, linking the Colliers Way terminus to Elliots Lane in Hapsford, can be accessed from Buckland Road in Great Elm or via the Colliers Way. Originally laid in 2018, its rough surface was unsuitable for horses, bikes, scooters and wheelchairs. After raising £27,000 last autumn, the route received a £140,000 upgrade, improving access to National Cycle Network route 24. It was formally reopened at a well-attended event on Saturday 26th April, with the mayors of Frome and Radstock in attendance. The project aims to deliver a multi-user path from Welshmill Lane to the Colliers Way cycle path in Great Elm, creating an unbroken route between Frome and Radstock.

  • Energy entrepreneur to speak in Frome Renowned energy entrepreneur Howard Johns will be speaking at Frome Town Hall this month giving advice on building a more sustainable future for Frome. The free talk will run on Tuesday 20th May, from 7pm to 9pm and is ideal for anyone interested in renewable energy and reducing energy bills. Howard said, “Why are your energy bills so high and what can you do about it? The current energy system is outdated, expensive and harmful to our wallets, our health, the planet and even global stability. “Every year, we pour thousands into companies that are fuelling the crisis. It’s time to flip the switch. “Join us to kick-start an energy transformation in Frome: where our homes generate, store and share clean energy. Lower bills, less pollution, real local power.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Licence granted for new Frome nightspot despite local objections By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby A new Frome nightspot can play live music and sell alcohol to its patrons despite concerns raised by neighbouring residents. Earthaus Property Ltd secured permission in May 2024 to turn four existing flats at 1 Saxonvale into an eight-bedroom hotel, which would overlook the Saxonvale regeneration site in the town centre. The Saxonvale Ltd has sought to open the ground floor and courtyard area as a café, bar and late night events venue, which could include playing live music and selling pizzas to local customers. Despite objections from local residents, Somerset Council has agreed to grant the Frome business a licence, meaning it could be up and running within the next few months.

  • Climate adaptation event moves to Cheese and Grain An event focused on the impact of climate change and how communities can build resilience is moving to the Cheese and Grain on Tuesday 13th May due to high demand for tickets. Act to Adapt, organised by Frome Town Council, is the first in a series of events and is part of a project co-hosted with Somerset Wildlife Trust and funded by the Somerset Rivers Authority. Due to strong interest, the venue has been moved to the Cheese and Grain to allow more people to attend. Frome Town Council’s climate action lead, Matt Mellen, said, “It’s fantastic to see so much interest in the Act to Adapt event, with over 100 people already signed up. We’ve moved the meeting to the Cheese and Grain, so there’s plenty of room for even more people to join us." Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Free money coaching sessions to launch in Frome Free money coaching sessions are due to run this month offering support and advice for people managing their finances. The sessions, which are being run by Holy Trinity Church in partnership with Christians Against Poverty (CAP), will provide expert financial advice in the local community over three weeks from Monday 12th May at 5pm at The Bridge Café on Selwood Road. “With the soaring cost of living over the last few years, we’ve seen how important it is that people know how to successfully manage their money, whatever their income,” explained Gary Lee, who is organising the new course. “It’s vital that we know how to balance what we have, save for emergencies and stay out of debt. “Our money coaching course is here to equip people in Frome to do that. We’ll look at things like building and balancing a household budget, prioritising spending and keeping our finances stable into the future." Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome man convicted of murdering woman A Frome man has been convicted of murdering a woman in Portway on the night she planned to end their relationship last year. Kieron Goodwin, 33, denied killing 29-year-old Olivia Wood but was found guilty by a jury at Bristol Crown Court after a five-week trial. He was also convicted of 15 other offences committed against Olivia and three other women over a five-year period, including rape, intentional strangulation and controlling and coercive behaviour. The court heard Goodwin had been in a relationship with Olivia for fewer than three months when he fatally strangled her on 30th July. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Frome’s history kept alive at town’s independent museum Behind the doors of 1 North Parade, Frome Museum is keeping the town’s history alive with fascinating exhibitions and events for all ages. Based in the town centre, the museum is independently run by enthusiastic volunteers who are keen to share Frome’s heritage. The museum’s origins lie in the 1956 Frome Historical Exhibition, which led to the formation of the Frome Society in 1958 — the forerunner to today’s museum. Today, the museum is the proud owner of the iconic Frome Literary and Scientific Institution building, which opened in 1869. Michael Maggs, who has been chair for the past 18 months, has a personal link to the museum, with one of the exhibitions featuring his grandfather’s pharmacy, formerly based at 20 Bath Street.
