  • Frome flea market and craft fair back this weekend The popular Frome Flea Market & Craft Fair returns this weekend for its sixth year. Situated at West Woodlands Showground just outside Frome, the event was established in 2021 by Peter and Claire Townsend and is held six times a year on the second Sunday of each month from April to October (excluding September) with the first event of 2026 this Sunday, 12th April. Regularly welcoming over 250 stalls, the event continues to grow in size and popularity and also boasts a classic/supercar display and live music. This weekend will see the return of the resident due ‘The Sitting Tenants’ and also local singer Kelly Dale. “There’s a lively mix of stalls both inside and out offering everything from antiques, vintage and retro items to handmade crafts, art and local produce,” said Claire. “There’s a great atmosphere and it’s much more than just a Flea Market & Craft Fair. “There’s a great display of classic and supercars – all of which gain free entry to the event an Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome stalwarts honoured with Civic Awards Local volunteers and organisations have been awarded with Mayor’s Civic Awards for their service to the town. The awards were presented by Mayor Anita Collier at the Annual Town Meeting on Wednesday 1st April at Frome Town Hall. The award recipients were The Pod Charity, family support charity Purple Elephant, Director of the Merlin Theatre Claudia Pepler, Jane Norris from the Royal British Legion, Ted Prendergast from Safe Space Frome, and Marilyn Burrows from the Widows and Widowers Group. Before the awards were presented, Cllr Anita Collier gave a presentation sharing highlights from her year as mayor. She said, “I absolutely love what I do. It’s something that makes me very emotional just to think about it, to be honest. I have always been a very strong ambassador for Frome. It’s a fabulous honour and it has been an enormous pleasure for me to see and do so much in this incredible town. We are so lucky here with all the kindness that people show in every respect and all the wonderful work that people do.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Leisure centre operator goes into administration The charity running Frome Leisure Centre has gone into administration, with Somerset Council looking to appoint a new operator in the next three months. Fusion Lifestyle went into administration on 1st April. Professional services company S&W Partners LLP (S&W) was appointed as administrator, and will run Fusion on a temporary basis for three months. Frome MP Anna Sabine, who has been campaigning over ‘persistent issues’ at Frome Leisure Centre, has launched a petition to show support for the facility. She said, “I am sorry to hear that Fusion has fallen into administration, leaving Frome’s leisure centre facing yet more uncertainty. For years, residents have endured broken boilers, unusable changing rooms, closed courts, gym issues and cancelled sessions, all while still paying memberships. I’ve repeatedly raised these failures with Fusion and Somerset Council. “I’m relieved that Somerset Council have stepped in to secure the leisure centre until the summer, but long-term planning is crucial to securing the use of these facilities for our town. I hope other provisions will be found quickly.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Archie’s double clinches title! Monday 6th April Southern League Premier South Division Frome Town 3-2 Shaftesbury Frome Town have been crowned Southern League Premier South Champions after goals from David Duru and two from Archie Ferris clinched a dramatic 3-2 win against Shaftesbury on Easter Monday. Talisman Duru broke the deadlock inside four minutes with his audacious kick over Ben Taylor’s head between the sticks. However, the visitors responded in rapid time, with Jack Hoey netting the equaliser just five minutes after; his effort was fired into the top left corner after a throw-in was poorly cleared. The Rockies, in fact, took the lead just shortly into the second half; after Harris Feltham’s foul inside the box, Santos sent Kyle Phillips the wrong way. However, it was Frome’s leading goal-scorer who stole the show with Ferris’ brace with just three minutes between each of them, sending Badgers Hill into raptures.

  • Frome Town are champions! Frome Town sealed the Southern League Division One title on Easter Monday, beating Shaftesbury 3–2 at a packed Badgers Hill in front of 1,096 jubilant fans. The Robins twice came from behind to clinch a win that caps a remarkable season – from fears last summer that the club might fold, to a record-breaking run that sees them crowned champions with 101 points and three games still to play. “It’s an amazing feeling,” said Manager Danny Greaves. “It’s been on the cards for a while in everyone else’s eyes but in my eyes it was never done until it was mathematically done. “To do it in the way we’ve have today sums up our season really. Heart, resilience. We went 2-1 down and to come back and win it in the way we did shows what we’re about. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. Pictures by: Steve McCarthy
  • Co-working space opens in Westway Precinct A new co-working space has opened in the Westway Shopping Centre. Westway Workspace has been created by Frome resident Diana Miller, who set out to restore a place where freelancers, remote workers and small businesses can work together in the heart of town. The project has turned what was once an empty and neglected space into a light-filled loft with private studios, coworking desks, meeting rooms and communal areas, all designed to support the town’s growing community of independent professionals. Diana said, “We wanted to create somewhere where kind and mindful people could come together to work; a space that feels calm, creative and welcoming.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Baby support charity seeks trustees A Frome charity supporting families through pregnancy, baby loss and early parenthood is looking for new trustees to join its board. Frome Birth Talk is seeking new trustees to help guide its future. The board say they are particularly keen to hear from people with experience in midwifery, health visiting roles, or fundraising. Anyone who has lived experience of being a young parent or being from a marginalised ethnic background is also encouraged to apply. Operations manager Lucy Hill said, “For many parents, the perinatal period – pregnancy and the first two years after birth – can be a time of vulnerability as well as joy. Frome Birth Talk has become a vital part of the community by providing accessible, timely support for those experiencing perinatal mental health difficulties across Frome and the surrounding areas.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
