Singer-songwriter Frank Turner will perform on Wednesday 19th February with his band, The Sleeping Souls, as part of Frank Turner’s Road to Show 3,000, which culminates in a sold-out gig at London’s Alexandra Palace on Saturday 22nd February. “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome back Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls to Frome, especially on the eve of such a monumental milestone—his 3,000th show,” explained the venue’s programme, production and marketing manager, Rob Dahl.

  • From The Mayor A column by Cllr Andy Jones February started for me with welcoming the new vicar of St John’s, the Revd Seamus Hargrave, who is joining us from the Diocese of St David’s in South Wales. I presented him with one of our new ‘Welcome to Frome’ information packs and I’m sure we’ll soon see him around town at various events. Saturday 8th February saw people enjoying themselves at The Weylands Wassail, making a noise to wake the apple trees from their winter slumbers. I have to admit that neither event would have been in my diary had I not been mayor, but then my primary reason for taking on that role was to experience all that Frome can offer, and it’s been a busy year so far!

  • Wild about Frome A column by Frome Wild Bunch It’s bird box time! Hi, this is Jane from the Wild Bunch. At last, the evenings are drawing out and, with snowdrops and crocuses in bloom, it is beginning to feel like spring. At last, the evenings are drawing out and, with snowdrops and crocuses in bloom, it is beginning to feel like spring. We are close to St Valentine’s Day – traditionally the date when birds are thought to choose their mate. Many say this is earlier than the mating season begins in England, as March is the month most garden birds start nest building, although the tits are often setting up home this month.

  • Valentine’s Lamp history preserved in new book The Friends of Frome’s Valentine’s Lamp group are writing a book to document the history of the town’s beloved romantic landmark. The historic gas lamp, located at the top of Catherine Hill, is the centrepiece of the annual Valentine’s Day Ceremony, a tradition that has been running for over 30 years. Each year, the ceremony revolves around the lighting of the Cockey lamp, a duty performed by Frome stalwart Reg Ling, who originally restored and installed the lamp. Read more on our website.

  • Community ‘elated’ over battery storage site refusal A campaign group fighting to stop a battery energy storage site from being developed just 32 metres from homes in Styles Close says they are ‘elated’ after the plans were refused by Somerset Council’s Planning Meeting East. The plans, submitted by Trina Solar Hold Co Ltd, proposed the construction of a 30MW lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage site in a small cul-de-sac, 32 metres from houses in Styles Close. However, the committee rejected the application on Tuesday 4th February, despite an officer recommendation for approval. The decision was made on the grounds of residential amenity, specifically the site’s proximity to homes and access arrangements. At the meeting, local representatives raised concerns about the application, including safety risks, noise pollution, access issues and the site’s closeness to residential properties.
