  • Town council takes on 57 open green spaces Frome Town Council has formally taken ownership of 57 new open and green spaces around Frome as part of a devolution deal with Somerset Council. One of the new spaces, a large ‘green corridor’ at Brunel Way, was planted with spring bulbs last month as part of a wider bulb-planting campaign by Frome Town Council’s Resilience and Environment teams, with the help of residents, including six-year-olds Gabriel and Oisín. Gabriel said, “I liked planting the bulbs with my friend Oisín because we walk here together and I’m excited to see them grow.” Cllr Mark Dorrington said, “At Frome Town Council, we’ve got a long track record of working with the community and other partners to maximise the benefits of our shared spaces, making them places for community, connection and play, and havens for biodiversity and wildlife.

  • World-famous Cobble Wobble returns this month The world-famous Cobble Wobble returns this month with cyclists of all ages and abilities set to tackle the challenging 179-yard sprint up Frome’s iconic Catherine Hill – with many in fancy dress. Residents and commentators are expected to line the streets on Sunday 23rd November, to cheer on the cyclists who will be racing from 12pm. The event was due to run earlier in the year but was rescheduled due to severe weather. The event was a staple of Frome’s annual calendar between 2009 and 2012, organised by Andrew Denham. It is open to everyone from pro athletes to members of the public of all ages, with many wearing fancy dress to take part in the event.

Frome Valley Cleaners has been trading for 98 years, having first launched in 1927 in Chippenham.

  • Bluffing Your Way in Ballet comes to the Merlin Theatre A fast-paced and light-hearted show exploring the history of ballet is coming to Frome this month. Bluffing Your Way in Ballet takes audiences on an entertaining journey ‘beyond the tutu’, featuring stories and dances inspired by ballet legends including Václav Nijinsky, Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev and Isadora Duncan. The production is led by Alexandra Pickford, a former dancer with The Royal Ballet and English National Ballet, who draws on her extensive experience to bring to life the personalities and performances that shaped her career. And Alexandra is no stranger to Frome, she was born in Frome Community Hospital! Presented by Seizing The Day Company, a troupe of mature professional performers founded by Alexandra in 2021, the show is at the Merlin Theatre on Thursday 27th November. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio Tickets and more details are available from the Merlin Theatre website. A minimum age of 14 is suggested due to some mildly risqué stories.
  • Frome residents invited to shape the nation’s future in groundbreaking civic research A major research project is coming to Frome, and local residents are invited to help document the town’s civic life and imagine its future. The project, called Civic Imaginaries of Frome, is a collaboration between the University of Glasgow, Frome Town Council and Edventure. Civic imaginaries are the different ways people sense, feel and dream about the futures of their places. This work is part of a four-year Civic Imaginary Partnerships study also happening in Chester, Glasgow, Hull, and Southampton. Between November 2025 and March 2026, researchers Dr Michael Howcroft and Dr Ellen Bishop will be in Frome, running activities that explore the town’s independent culture and the ways residents connect and co-operate with each other. They’ll be carrying out interviews and workshops and will be working with Frome’s voluntary groups. Everyone in Frome over the age of 18 is invited to take part.

  • Local Jewish resident speaks out about living in fear A local woman has spoken out about living in fear as a Jewish resident in Frome, saying many in the town’s Jewish community have been hiding their identity amid a rise in antisemitism. The resident, who is remaining anonymous for safety reasons, told the Frome Times she felt compelled to share her experience and support the local Jewish community. She said the rise in antisemitism has been fuelled globally by the conflict between Palestine and Israel, and emphasised that Jewish people in Frome are separate from the conflict. “I wanted to say something about what has been the experience of people who are Jewish in Frome,” she said. “I want to call out for people to stop because whatever people might feel, we are just residents of Frome who are Jewish who want to go about our lives and join in with the community; we are not part of the conflict.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
