  • From The Mayor I’ve been reflecting recently on how exceptionally lucky I am to enjoy this life as a councillor and as your mayor. In my council work, we’ve been reviewing all the applications for grants that are available to groups and businesses that need help. There are so many amazing projects in need of funds, which makes it all the more difficult to decide where the money should go. Mayoral events so far in February have included popping into Canteen to see dozens of people enjoying hot food on a ‘pay-what-you-can’ basis and watching our amazing Frome College students perform their ‘Back to the 80s’ show; it was brilliant! I visited Purple Elephant’s community day at the Key Centre and learned more about their work with families. There was a dog show at the football club with Dogs for Health, including stalls with goodies to buy, plus teas, coffees and refreshments. Another fabulous family event. Read more on our website.

  • Frome writers to showcase new plays A collection of plays written by Frome Writers’ Collective will be performed at Merlin Theatre. ‘Balancing Acts’ explores the dilemmas faced in family relationships and the unexpected events triggered by chance encounters, past and present. Created by Frome Writers’ Collective’s scriptwriting group, the show will run on 14th March. Eight members of the group are busy rehearsing their plays with local actors and Merlin Director Claudia Pepler. Scenarios range from a confrontation between two of the women in the life of Charles Dickens (pictured) to present-day marital issues, and the plight of a Sri Lankan child whose mother, driven by financial necessity, is forced to work far from home.

  • Spring fun for families at the Merlin Theatre The Merlin Theatre has a range of shows to entertain children and families this spring. In March, Selwood Academy presents Oliver! JR, bringing the streets of Victorian England to life from 25th to 28th March. Audiences will follow Oliver, a workhouse orphan, as he becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker, escapes to London, and joins a gang of thieves led by Fagin. Organisers say, “Full of classic songs like Consider Yourself, Food Glorious Food and Oom-Pah-Pah, some of Frome’s many talented school pupils take to the stage with this great family show. April brings magic with The Ultimate Bubble Show by Guinness World Record holder Ray Bubbles on 10th April. He will create stunning bubble sculptures and effects, including a volcano bubble, a soap bubble carousel, a bubble ghost, and even a tornado inside a bubble." Read more on our website.

  • Happiness habits course at The Good Heart A six-week course helping people develop ‘happiness habits’ is due to run at The Good Heart from Sunday 15th March. Action for Happiness, the evidence‑based global movement promoting kindness, connection and wellbeing, is running the Happiness Habits course. The in-person course will be co‑facilitated by local volunteers Sue Jeffrey and Nikki Tanner. The Happiness Habits course is a secular, science‑backed programme that explores six weekly themes, including gratitude, self‑care, resilience, kindness and meaning, through short expert videos, guided mindful moments and small‑group conversations. Each week encourages participants to try a small practical action to build happier habits and share experiences with the group. “Sitting together in person made a huge difference when we ran our first course,” said Sue Jeffrey, co‑facilitator. “People formed strong connections, tried new practices and reported feeling more positive after six weeks.” Read more on our website.

  • Charity launches support sessions for people with FND Awareness sessions for people with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) are set to run at Frome Library following a successful launch event. Organised by the charity FND FrieNDS, the first session on 19th February saw 18 visitors attend to find out more about the condition and the support available. Many joined the charity’s closed Facebook group on the day, while others who were already members came to talk with the team. Trustee Dave Penny said, “The event started at 11am with someone waiting for us as we set up. This continued throughout the day until we packed up at 3pm. The event was a great success, not limited by the number of visitors but from the reaction I received on the Facebook chat groups I advertised on.” Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
  • 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. The event, on Sunday 8th March in Hawkeridge near Westbury, promises something for every collector and enthusiast, with thousands of £1 books, vinyl LPs, CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, plus a wide range of music and TV memorabilia, posters, artwork and collectible toys. Zardoz has been a well-known name in the world of vintage paperbacks for over 30 years, specialising in science fiction, mystery and classic Penguin and Pan editions, and more recently added a wide range of music, movie and pop culture treasures. “Our last book fair proved really popular and this time, we have more stock and an even greater variety,” said owner Maurice Flanagan, pictured."
