One for the kids on Saturday 29th October at 2.30pm with a live performance of Don’t Dribble on the Dragon.
‘My brother has a dragon and he keeps it secretly within a box beneath his socks. He’s hiding it from me…’ When Tom and his older brother Jack’s friendship falls apart can a magical dragon help them put it back together again?
Based on the fabulous new book by Steven Lee and with magic designed by TV legend Paul Daniels, this spectacular musical adventure about growing up and the importance of family is the perfect feel good show for big hearted adults and loving little ones alike.
As an extra treat, Steven will be available to sign copies of Don’t Dribble On The Dragon which you can bring with you or get in the theatre after the show.

![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.
