Critchill Court and Rowden House were proud to take part in National Care Home Open Day on Saturday 21st April.

All 28 of Somerset Care’s homes took part to encourage more links and friendship with the local community. This year, Care Home Open Day took place on the Queen’s 92nd birthday, meaning that each home had a touch of red, white and blue within their celebrations.

Rowden House opened their doors with a royal street party, and Critchill Court organised a jam-packed day of various activities for all ages to take part in.

Still Sisters has been selected for Co-op’s Apiary programme, which supports and helps small brands grow and reach a wider audience. Founded by Tori Jordan and Hannah Smith, Still Sisters will see its Somerset Cider Gin & Tonic and Pink Gin Fizz stocked nationwide, marking the brand’s first supermarket listing. “We’ve always wanted to take the spirit of Somerset further afield,” said Tori Jordan. “Our Somerset Cider Gin & Tonic is made with locally pressed cider apples; it’s our love letter to the county.

  • A hopeful vision of a future Frome Residents were invited to envision a ‘Frome of the near future’ recently, when environmental campaigner, writer and activist Rob Hopkins launched his new book in town. The launch of his book ‘How to Fall in Love with the Future: A Time Traveller’s Guide to Changing the World’, involved a daytime workshop followed by an evening ‘in conversation’ with Rob at the Cheese and Grain, organised by Frome Town Council. Participants were encouraged to envision a Frome of the near future, with a focus on possibility, imagination and optimism, making a choice to say ‘yes, and’ instead of ‘yes, but’, even in the face of the enormous challenge of climate change. The approach is detailed in his latest book. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio Pictured: Fayon Dixon, Rob Hopkins and Cllr Fiona Barrows. The Rob Hopkins book launch.

  • The Unravelling Wilburys ride into town this month Following an extensive summer tour that drew sell-out audiences all the way to Aberdeen and back, local band, the Unravelling Wilburys, will be returning to the Memorial Theatre this month. The Unravelling Wilburys claim the debatable backstory of being five Nashville-born brothers who had their act stolen by the 80s supergroup, The Traveling Wilburys. Having taken back their act, they now include many songs from each of the Traveling Wilburys back catalogue. Expect the best of Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan. Thinly disguised as Walter and Willie Wilbury are two familiar Frome names, John Freeman and Martin Dimery, who met when teachers at Frome College.

Residents are invited to a musical theatre production of Roald Dahl’s beloved story, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, opening on 4th December.
