  • Frome Wild Bunch Column - Get sowing! 

Hi, it’s Jane here from the Wild Bunch. 

As we near the end of April and frosts are mostly behind us, it is the perfect time to get started on creating a nectar and pollen-rich garden by sowing seeds, whether in a pot by your back door, a window box, a garden bed or in a spare corner of an allotment or open green space. 

By attracting pollinators throughout the summer and autumn, we will be doing our bit to reverse the sad decline in the number of invertebrates – butterflies and moths, ants and spiders, bugs and beetles – in Britain. Nectar, which is sweet and sticky, attracts pollinators but is also an important source of food for insects. While feeding on the nectar, insects may also feed on pollen. Others, such as bees, collect it to feed their young. All will carry pollen on their bodies as they move from plant to plant, fertilising the flowers as they go, enabling them to produce fruits or seeds. 

Pollen-rich plants will also help bring in birds who will feed on the insects now and on the seedheads in later months. This has been recommended by the RSPB as a healthier way to feed birds in the summer months, as bird feeders can result in the spread of diseases like avian flu.

  • European champion and free girls’ sessions at Frome Skate Park

A skate Jam event in Frome will feature a European scootering champion as a special guest next month.

Isaac Jose, crowned European Champion at the 2025 European Scootering Championships in Tjelta, Norway, will visit Frome Skate Park as part of the Skate Jam event on 9th May.

The day is open to all ages and abilities, with wheeled sports enthusiasts including skateboarders, roller skaters, scooter riders and BMX riders welcome to take part. The event will run from 10am to 4pm.

There will be a chance to demonstrate skills in a series of competitions from midday, with prizes available and Isaac Jose judging the scooter events.

To make the skate park more inclusive for girls, free sessions will also take place for girls on 7th May, led by experienced instructor Dave Lea.

These sessions will run from 4.15pm to 5.15pm at the skate park. The first session is for ages 11 to 16, with future sessions planned for other ages and underrepresented groups.

  • New £30,000 Wakka Tag play attraction installed as children’s play sessions are relaunched

A local soft play centre is relaunching its popular children’s evening sessions alongside the introduction of an exciting new interactive play feature.

Club Boom, aimed at children in school Years 4 to 6, will return to Boomerang in Melksham from Friday 1st May and run weekly from 6pm to 8pm. The sessions offer a supervised environment where children can use the facilities with friends, providing what organisers describe as a safe and energetic evening activity. To mark the relaunch, Boomerang is offering 100 free tickets for the opening night.

Alongside the return of Club Boom, the centre has also introduced Wakka Tag, a new £30,000 interactive game installed inside the main soft play frame. The system allows children to tap sensors, score points and compete against others as they move around the play structure.

“Wakka Tag is designed to bring something new to every visit - encouraging repeat play, friendly competition, and a completely different experience each time,” said Gary Cooke. “With prizes up for grabs and leaderboards to chase, it adds a modern twist to traditional soft play - and early reactions from children have already been hugely positive.”

  • Bank Holiday activities at Victoria Park cafe

  • Town invited to create new sunflower bed

Residents are invited to bring their home-grown sunflower plants to a new community flower bed in the Mary Baily Playing Field. 

The new bed was created by the town council’s ranger team, with Ranger Mark and volunteer ranger Malcolm preparing the space. 

The idea was inspired by the documentary ‘Power Station’, screened at the Merlin Theatre in March. In the film, a community comes together not only to generate renewable solar energy, but also to plant thousands of sunflowers: transforming their street into a powerful, collective symbol of hope, creativity and shared action.

  • ‘Terrific success’ for Frome’s first veterans’ breakfast

Frome’s first Veterans’ Breakfast has been hailed a success after more than 30 people attended the inaugural event aimed at bringing together former service personnel.

The gathering at The Cross Keys pub in Blatchbridge on 4th April was welcomed by a five-piece bagpipe and drum band.

Member Laurie Magee said, “It was a terrific success. The pub was filled with service vets from all three services who not only enjoyed a five-piece bagpipe and drum band to welcome them to the breakfast but a hearty meal and great banter.”

The Armed Forces and Veterans Breakfast Club is a national organisation providing a supportive and welcoming environment for veterans.

Organiser Alex Anderson launched the Frome group following the success of a similar initiative in Warminster.

The Frome group meets on the first Saturday of each month at The Cross Keys at 10.30am, with breakfast served from 11am.

  • Children celebrate cultural diversity with handcrafted flags

Young people in Frome have celebrated diversity and inclusion through a handcrafted flag project now on display in the library.

The initiative brought together pupils from local schools and community groups, with each contributing handmade flags reflecting their heritage, identity and personal stories. Using a range of reclaimed materials, colours and symbols, the children created bunting representing countries, cultures and shared values from around the world.

The flag-making took place across three workshops, the first at the Multicultural Festival in October last year and two further sessions at Frome Library, where the display is now in the children’s section.

One of the project coordinators, Angelique Mulholland, said, “This bunting is more than decoration, it’s a powerful visual representation of how our differences can come together to create something beautiful.”

  • Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May

A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.

The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.

Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday. 

Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.

There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
