A night of traditional Scottish dancing and folk music is being held at Rook Lane Chapel next month.
The ceilidh is on Saturday 14th February and will raise funds for the Frome’s Missing Links project which is working to create safe, traffic-free walking and cycling routes linking Frome with neighbouring communities.
The event will include live music from Spill the Whisky, a fundraising bar and a raffle, with some traditional Scottish treats to be won.
Missing Links trustee Grant Gellatly said, “We’re delighted to bring the ceilidh back for another year. It is often a sell-out night and it’s a really friendly, community event that brings together so many different people.
“The ceilidh (pronounced ‘kay-lee’) is a great way to meet new people, as well as enjoy a night out with friends. Tickets cost £22 (plus an Eventbrite fee), which helps Frome’s Missing Links to keep working to create traffic-free paths. One of the current projects is to look at extending the existing tarmac path through Whatcombe Fields to connect to roads and paths at Spring Gardens.”
The ceilidh is suitable for everyone from seasoned dancers to complete novices, as an experienced ‘caller’ will guide attendees through each dance.

![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.
