  • Frome gin stocked in nationwide supermarket chain

A Frome distillery is set to reach a national audience, with two of its products stocked in Co-op stores across the UK.

Still Sisters has been selected for Co-op’s Apiary programme, which supports and helps small brands grow and reach a wider audience.

Founded by Tori Jordan and Hannah Smith, Still Sisters will see its Somerset Cider Gin & Tonic and Pink Gin Fizz stocked nationwide, marking the brand’s first supermarket listing.

“We’ve always wanted to take the spirit of Somerset further afield,” said Tori Jordan. “Our Somerset Cider Gin & Tonic is made with locally pressed cider apples; it’s our love letter to the county. To now see it on Co-op shelves across the country is a dream come true.”

  • A hopeful vision of a future Frome

Residents were invited to envision a ‘Frome of the near future’ recently, when environmental campaigner, writer and activist Rob Hopkins launched his new book in town.

The launch of his book ‘How to Fall in Love with the Future: A Time Traveller’s Guide to Changing the World’, involved a daytime workshop followed by an evening ‘in conversation’ with Rob at the Cheese and Grain, organised by Frome Town Council.

Participants were encouraged to envision a Frome of the near future, with a focus on possibility, imagination and optimism, making a choice to say ‘yes, and’ instead of ‘yes, but’, even in the face of the enormous challenge of climate change. The approach is detailed in his latest book.

  • The Unravelling Wilburys ride into town this month

Following an extensive summer tour that drew sell-out audiences all the way to Aberdeen and back, local band, the Unravelling Wilburys, will be returning to the Memorial Theatre this month.

The Unravelling Wilburys claim the debatable backstory of being five Nashville-born brothers who had their act stolen by the 80s supergroup, The Traveling Wilburys. Having taken back their act, they now include many songs from each of the Traveling Wilburys back catalogue. Expect the best of Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan.

Thinly disguised as Walter and Willie Wilbury are two familiar Frome names, John Freeman and Martin Dimery, who met when teachers at Frome College.

A world of pure imagination is set to come to The Merlin Theatre this December to mark the end of the venue’s celebratory 50th anniversary.

Residents are invited to a musical theatre production of Roald Dahl’s beloved story, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, opening on 4th December. Keep an eye on local and social media to find out which shops in Frome will be stocking the special, limited edition Merlin Wonka bar.

Almost 50 local people have given their time and skills to the dazzling stage production, which will bring to life the enchanting story of Charlie Bucket and the mysterious confectioner Willy Wonka.

All the on-stage roles are being played by local community actors, aged seven to 68. The child performers, divided into two teams playing on alternate nights, were selected from over 50 youngsters who braved the audition process in July.
