  • Merlin Theatre celebrates 50 years of inspiring theatre and creativity The Merlin Theatre is celebrating its 50th anniversary with an exciting season of events under the banner Made in Frome, showcasing the rich creative talent the town has to offer. Since its founding, the theatre has been a cornerstone of Frome’s cultural landscape, providing a platform for professional and emerging artists alike. In honour of this landmark year, the theatre will host a special programme featuring performances from acclaimed professional companies, as well as homegrown talent nurtured within the town and the theatre itself. “We are immensely proud to celebrate 50 years of storytelling, performance, and artistic development at the Merlin,” said artistic director Claudia Pepler. “The ‘Made in Frome’ anniversary is not just a reflection of our past achievements but a celebration of the future of theatre in Frome and beyond. “We are presenting a season of work marking the venue’s five decades of artistic excellence, community engagement and groundbreaking performances. It will celebrate and champion the abundance and wealth of professional talent in the town.” Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.
  • Frome to mark VE Day 80th anniversary with community events Frome will come together to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day next month with a series of community events commemorating the end of fighting in Europe during the Second World War. Events begin on Sunday 4th May with a Frome Town Band concert in Victoria Park. Residents are encouraged to bring picnics and enjoy an afternoon of music. On Thursday 8th May – the official VE Day – there will be a ‘Songs and Scones’ event at the Memorial Theatre, a procession to St John’s Church re-enacting the parade of 8th May 1945, and a thanksgiving service using the original Victory Order of Service. Running from now until August – to coincide with VJ Day, when Japan formally surrendered to the Allied forces, officially ending the Second World War – residents are encouraged to make red, white and blue bunting, which can be dropped off at Frome Town Hall between 10am and 3pm.

  • Frome Beaver Watch launches to celebrate the local species A new group has launched in Frome with the aim of educating people about the growing population of beavers in the area and the important ecological role they play. Frome Beaver Watch has been set up by local woman Sophie Ricardo, who, along with other residents, wants to raise awareness, run events and help protect the species in and around the town. The group follows on from the Frome Beaver Patrol, started by a local man last year, and has already attracted around 14 members who are keeping an eye on beaver activity in local locations. “There are more beavers around than we think,” said Sophie. “Just seeing them in person is amazing—it really makes you feel connected to nature.” Read more on our website.

  • From The Mayor I can’t believe my year as mayor is nearing completion! At the end of this month, I’ll chair my last council meeting on 30th April, before the new mayor is elected on 21st May. I hope my successor enjoys their time in office as much as I have. Earlier this month, I got to indulge myself reminiscing about the year at the Annual Town Meeting. There’s been such a lot happening since I took on the chain of office, from celebrating the 50th anniversary of Frome Town Council, to the rollercoaster of Saxonvale, kicking off Frome Festival with the Food Feast and, of course, the amazing highlight of the year: Light the Night. The Annual Town Meeting also gave me the opportunity to recognise some of the people who make this town special, and it was my honour to present Civic Awards to several of those individuals. Awards this year went to Darren Bowsher to recognise his philanthropic support of various projects in Frome, not least providing a solar array to Fair Frome to support them in their new premises. His gift enables Fair Frome to operate their base in Frome with significantly lower electricity consumption costs.

  • Speeding persists as over 100 motorists caught in two hours Over 100 motorists were caught speeding in Frome in two hours during a visit from the police speed enforcement unit last month. The results follow a decline in speeding at the end of last year, which saw a reduction in warning letters and prosecutions being issued. “However, it seems many motorists have gone back to their old ways, when the police speed enforcement unit carried out two days of lightening visits in Frome in response to a complaint from Berkley School about excessive speeds,” explained Mendip Community Speedwatch coordinator Ashley Reay. “A frightening speed of 68mph was recorded in the 30mph zone outside of Berkley School, along with one at 52mph outside of Frome College. Some 100 vehicles were reported for exceeding the posted speed limit in the Frome area in less than two hours during the second week of March. All of those recorded will face fines and or a court visit." Pictured: Berkley Road Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • The Crysse Morrison Prize for Poetry open for submissions The Crysse Morrison Prize for Poetry is back for its third year, continuing to honour the legacy of the cherished Frome poet and author. Crysse, who died in late 2022, was a prolific writer and a mentor to many local poets as well as a huge contributor and supporter of the annual Frome Festival. “Her literary talent, infectious energy and unwavering positivity made her a beloved figure at the heart of the town’s creative community,” says Frome Festival manager Sarah Swales. In 2023, a close friend of Crysse’s, Rosie Eliot, launched the Poetry Prize as part of the Frome Festival Pictured: Martin Bax, Founder of Frome Festival, with the late Crysse Morrison Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Children celebrate all things STEM with fun-filled activity week Children at St Louis Catholic Primary School have been celebrating science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with a packed week of activities, experiments and talks from professionals. The school kicked off the week with visits from STEM professionals, including architects, doctors and engineers, giving pupils the chance to learn about different career paths. The Climate Action Team from the local council also led an assembly on environmental responsibility. Year 3 pupils joined the team for a litter pick, with Year 4 following later in the week, teaming up with residents from Rossetti House care home to help clean up the local area. Pupils also spent time learning about pioneering women who have made major contributions to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
