  • Give a gift to look forward to this Christmas: The Animal Guyz are back at The Merlin Theatre After three sell-out shows, The Animal Guyz are coming back to Frome’s Merlin Theatre in the New Year with their wildly entertaining and educational show. The Animal Guyz: Amazing Animals will be at the Merlin Sunday 8th February. “This spectacular performance is dedicated to ‘all creatures great and small’ and features life-sized crocodiles, sloths, reindeer, penguins, orangutans – and even a spraying skunk bursting onto the stage right before your eyes, and no real animals are used!” said Craig, the original creator and Animal Guy performer. " Read more on our website. The link is in our bio Tickets are £17 or £20 for a photo opportunity with the puppets.

Songs for the Memory received £750 from the Frome Masons and will use the funds to host a Christmas lunch for members. One of the organisers of Songs for the Memory, Debby Webster, said, “The Masons’ support really helps us to keep our Songs for the Memory singing sessions free for the local community, something we are very passionate about.” Songs for the Memory is a singing group for people with dementia and memory problems, and their carers.

  • Frome Wild Bunch Column – Simple ways to support hedgehogs At our last Wild Bunch gathering we were joined by Jennie from Keyford Hedgehog Rescue and Rehab, who shared her expertise on how we can all make our gardens safer for hedgehogs. Inspired by her advice, here are some easy, practical ways to support hedgehogs that visit our gardens. One of the most valuable things we can do is create connected, wildlife-friendly spaces. Hedgehogs roam up to a mile each night looking for food, so enabling them to move freely between gardens makes a huge difference. A small hole in a fence or wall of around 13cm by 13cm (the size of a CD) is ideal for a ‘hedgehog highway’. Chat to your neighbours to see if you can link up several gardens to form a safe route. Hedgehogs are good climbers, so if you have a stone wall creating a ‘staircase’ with rocks or logs both sides can help them access your garden. Read more on our website. The link is in our bio Our next Wild Bunch gathering will be at the town hall on Thursday 18th December from 1.30pm to 3pm. This will be a relaxed festive meet-up over a mince pie, with an opportunity to plant a small pot of native Tenby daffodils to take home as a Christmas gift to nature at your doorstep. Book free tickets at https://buff.ly/hJkoLg8. Get in touch with the Wild Bunch at fromewildbunch@gmail.com. Contact Keyford Hedgehog Rescue and Rehab at keyfordhedgehogrescue@gmail.com.
