  • Frome charity ‘devastated’ after vehicle theft A charity in Frome has expressed its shock after one of its vehicles was stolen and later found burnt out in a local field. Fair Frome, which runs the town’s food bank and furniture bank along with other services for people in need, reported that its white Ford Transit 350 was stolen from Oakfield Road between 10pm on Tuesday 19th May and 6am on 20th May. A van matching the description, which the charity uses to deliver furniture to residents, was later discovered burnt out with the engine removed on 21st May on farmland off Frome Road between Frome and Nunney, according to police. Following the incident, the community has rallied to show support for the charity. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio. Pictured: The van, which had been stolen and burnt.

  • Mystery art installation appears at Packsaddle Fields An art installation that appeared at Packsaddle Fields recently has sparked mystery among residents, weeks after Somerset Council fenced off the land. The installation appeared at the site and remained in place for around a week. Signed ‘Packsy’ – an apparent nod to anonymous street artist Banksy – it featured a mannequin of a man in boxer shorts with the Somerset Council logo covering his face. The figure was shown pointing towards a woman sitting in a chair holding a baby. The words ‘money talks’ and ‘dirty cash’ were written on the mannequin’s leg. One resident from the Packsaddle area, Denise, said the installation seemed to represent someone in authority telling the woman to leave the field. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Film screening on female downhill skateboarding A documentary sharing the story of female skateboarders’ courage, friendship and self-discovery will be screened at the Merlin Theatre. ‘Woolf Women: Now or Never’ will be screened on Thursday 18th June. The screening is being hosted by Frome Skatepark Project (FSP) and Frome Town Council, and is raising funds towards the creation of a new skatepark at Mary Baily Playing Field in 2027. Organisers say, “Following five young women on an epic journey across Europe to the ancient Sumela Monastery in Turkey, the film is part skate adventure, part road trip and part celebration of friendship, courage and pushing yourself beyond your limits.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • 100-year-old Frome oak tree saved from axe despite damage to nearby home By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby A 100-year-old oak tree in Frome has been saved from being chopped down following a decision by Somerset Council. The tree lies within the back garden of an address in Collett Way. The property’s resident applied for permission to remove the tree (which has been subject to a tree protection order since 1989), claiming that it was responsible for subsidence in her garage and conservatory. But Somerset Council has refused the request, arguing that the tree has “outstanding amenity value” and that removing it could actually worsen damage to the property. The resident’s agent said that there was ‘clear evidence of subsidence-related damage’ to the property, including sloping and cracking to the garage floor and ‘significant cracking’ to the external and internal walls of the conservatory.

  • Biggest-ever Pride celebrations in Frome Frome is set for its biggest-ever Pride celebrations with live performances, theatre, a community gathering and the very first standalone Pride Parade. Frome Pride festival began in 2022 and the organisers say it has been growing traction ever since, with this year’s season set to be the biggest yet. Celebrations begin on Sunday 7th June with the return of the Frome Pride Youth Stage Takeover at The Frome Independent, showcasing a new generation of LGBTQ+ performers and speakers from 11am to 3pm. Thursday 11th June sees a production of ‘The Luxurious Time: A Queer Love Story’, a moving play written and performed by Martin Lewton, at the Merlin Theatre.

  • Orchardleigh Ladies’ Away Day The Ladies’ Section at Orchardleigh Golf Club headed off to Oake Manor Golf Club near Taunton for their annual ‘Away Day’ this year. It was organised by Lady Captain Jan Light who did a great job planning the day so that everyone had a good time. The course was looking fantastic although the weather was a bit damp and drizzly, which reflected in the rather low scoring. The format was a three-ball waltz, one, two, three scores to count. The best team score for the day was 63 points achieved by Jan Light, Rachel Priddle and Jenny Merrett. The runners up were 10 points behind, brought in by the four-ball Pat Pitt, Lin Handley, Sarah Doble and Diana Bullock. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Tributes paid to Frome stalwart Martin Bax MBE Frome has shared tributes to community arts pioneer and former mayor Martin Bax MBE, who died on 1st June aged 83. Martin was the founder, inaugural director and president of the Frome Festival. He also served as a town and district councillor, was mayor of Frome in 2003-04 and championed community arts, including music, theatre and photography. He was awarded an MBE by the Queen in 2006 for services to the Frome Festival and to the community in Frome. The Frome Festival team said they will continue to celebrate Martin’s legacy by delivering Frome’s community arts festival, now in its 25th year, with his vision at its core. The team said, “Everyone at Frome Festival sends their deepest love and sympathy to Martin’s family and everyone connected to his remarkable life. “In 2001, he delivered the first Frome Festival as a community regeneration project for Frome. His vision was to celebrate Frome’s arts scene and make Frome come alive with creative activities for all in as many different spaces as possible. “Martin’s passion for the arts, with particular interests in music, theatre and photography, combined with his relentless hard work, saw him deliver a remarkable legacy of special moments that are cherished by many to this day."

  • Bowls players complete 24-hour challenge in scorching heat Bowls players in Frome were pushed to their limits recently in a 24-hour bowl-a-thon, raising vital funds for the air ambulance in scorching heat. Members of Frome Selwood Bowling Club including Ladies Captain Kathy Kingman and club secretary Mike Bishop completed the challenge on 23rd and 24th May for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance Charity. They played 12 hours of bowls on both days, the equivalent of six full-length games in temperatures over 30 degrees, raising £1,500 for the charity, which provides life-saving pre-hospital critical care. “Even though it was hot, we survived,” said Mike, who collapsed during the challenge.

  • Consultation opens on major change to Frome school system Residents are being invited to have their say on whether Frome’s school system should change from a three-tier to a two-tier structure. Somerset Council has launched a formal consultation on proposals that could see 18 Frome schools move from the current first, middle and upper school model to a primary and secondary system. Under the plans, the authority is suggesting two secondary schools for the area, 14 primary schools and additional provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
