  • Community garden wins Frome in Bloom award The new community garden on Milk Street has won the President’s Trophy in the 2025 Frome in Bloom awards for outstanding community effort. The garden was renovated earlier this year by members of Trinity Community Group, Milk Street residents, pupils at Vallis School and residents of the Trinity area, working with Frome Town Council’s ranger team, Tree Officer Helen Viner and the Frome Town Council Communities team. Flower beds, seating and wooden play structures have created a space for local residents to gather, for children to play in before and after school and improved the appearance of the whole area. Wild About Trees Officer Helen Viner said, “Milk Street Green was such a lovely project to work on – the community came together and achieved something that will keep bringing joy and bringing people together for years to come. We’re really proud of it, and we’re so grateful to everyone who helped with the vision, the planting and now the ongoing maintenance of this brilliant space. Thank you, Frome in Bloom for recognising all of that hard work!” Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
  • Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra – with a modern twist Shakespear’s tragedy Antony and Cleopatra is coming to the Merlin Theatre next month, brought to you – with a modern twist – by Shakespeare Live. The story of the passionate love affair between two powerful rulers – Cleopatra , queen of Egypt, and Mark Antony, of Rome – is full of comedy and witty banter, yet it is also a history play wrapped round a tragic romance, examining the choices between the personal and the political. This fast-paced version, adapted and directed by Jacky Crosher for Shakespeare Live, spins a new twist on this less-performed play. An ensemble cast unpick the plot and text using both modern and original language. “A glorious, magical re-working of this wonderful play,” say the organisers. The play is at Frome’s Merlin Theatre on Saturday 25th October at 8pm. For more details and tickets, visit merlintheatre.co.uk Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.

  • Frome Birth Talk takes over Tiny Hearts Project Frome Birth Talk has taken over the running of the Tiny Hearts Project, based at the town’s community space, The Good Heart. Tiny Hearts hosts well-established free drop-in groups for ages 0 to five and their carers on Mondays and Thursdays. It also runs Tiny Rainbow Hearts, a group for LGBTQIA+ families to socialise with other parents and their children. The announcement was made during a visit from the High Sherif of Somerset, Janet Montgomery, and Deputy Lieutenant of Somerset, Lucy Nelson, who joined a Tiny Hearts session on Thursday 14th August, to see the impact both The Good Heart and Frome Birth Talk are having in the area. Thanks to a National Lottery grant of £20,000, Frome Birth Talk has been able to take on the administrative and financial needs for this well-loved group and enable its continuation for the community for at least the next two years. It is facilitated by Vicki Ross, who has joined Frome Birth Talk as Volunteer and Groups Coordinator and will provide much-needed continuity for the group and its regular attendees.

  • Somerset Council may ‘look long and hard’ at further cuts without government support By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby Somerset Council may have to “look long and hard” at making further cuts to local services if further central government support cannot be provided. In order to set a balanced budget for the last two years, the council has been reliant on “exceptional financial support” from central government in the form of a capitalisation directive. This directive allows the council to fund day-to-day spending from the sale of land, property and other assets – something which is not normally permitted. The council is currently forecasting an overspend of just over £5.4m for the current financial year, with many of the proceeds of recent asset sales being funnelled into the next phase of its transformation programme.

  • An evening in tribute to Johnnie Walker Frome favourites Winstone’s Hunting Raven Books and Raves from the Graves have teamed up to host an evening with Tiggy Walker, the beloved wife of the late Johnnie Walker. The event coincides with the release of Tiggy Walker’s memoir, Both Sides Now, in which she shares the joys of their life together: from the soaring highs of Johnnie’s legendary Radio 2 days to navigating the frustration and strange intimacy of anticipatory grief. Manager of Hunting Raven, Tina, said, “Fans of Johnnie Walker will delight in getting to know the man better. But this event is not just for those who loved him — it is for anyone who’s known the tangled, messy grace of caring, grieving and loving all the way to the final breath.” Tiggy will be in conversation with Graham Jones of Clocktower Record Shop and will be taking questions from the audience. The event will take place at The Assembly Rooms on Friday 3rd October at 7.30pm. Pictured: Johnnie & Tiggy Walker Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
