STARTS from CSF Professional Wrestling arrived in town last week as once again, the Cheese and Grain hosted another action-packed evening of professional wrestling action. With a sell-out crowd, the organisers have vowed to bring, in May, the best wrestling event  ever held at the Cheese and Grain as a thank you to its loyal fans.

The event on Saturday 15th February entitled ‘Saturday Night Slam!’ saw a sell-out crowd witness five bone crunching bouts.

In the opening match Kay Jutler defeated Zack Garret and in Tag Team action, Team H8 beat Big Grizzly and Scotty Essex.

Nathan Bane retained the All Nations Championship over Odyssey and in the main event, TNA Impact and international star Doug Williams pinned Dave Mercy.

Doug Williams is former X-Division Champion, ROH Pure Champion, IWGP World Tag Team Champion and multiple time TNA World Tag Team Champion along with team mate and World Champion, Magnus. This was his first appearance in Frome since joining the TNA roster and fans flocked to see him in live as he joined the CSF team again. Doug has wrestled for CSF since 1999.

Now, event management have announced another two huge international names when the Federation return on Sunday 25th May for ‘Battle For The Belt 2014’.

Firstly, WWE superstar ‘The Masterpiece’ Chris Masters has been signed to compete in what will be the biggest professional wrestling event to take place in the area since CSF first arrived in town in 2008.

Masters is a household name and has fought the very best athletes in the world such as Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, John Cena and Triple H. The second name set to appear is the MTV Lucha Libre USA Champion and former ROH Pure Champion and TNA star,  RJ Brewer.

Event management stated, “Both American stars will join CSF on our next visit to Frome. It’s our way of saying thank you to our great fans for supporting us over the years.

“We have held over 20 wrestling events here, but May 25th will be the biggest event by far. We announced this event on Monday and sold 70 tickets on the first day alone. The Cheese and Grain is a fantastic venue and we look forward to May.”

Doors on May 25th open at 5.30pm with showtime at 6.00pm. The event will finish at 8.30pm and is suitable for all the family, no age restrictions.

Tickets are priced at just £10 each/group of four £35. Tickets are available from the Cheese and Grain in person or on 01373 455420. Tickets are available online at: www.csfwrestling.co.uk

  • 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.

A family-run dry cleaner in Frome is celebrating 60 years in the town after opening in the town in 1965.

Frome Valley Cleaners has been trading for 98 years, having first launched in 1927 in Chippenham. It opened in Frome when co-owner Jim Short moved to the town in 1965.

“The main highlight over the years has been friendly customers,” said Jim. “It’s been good. We clean for anybody and everybody and in the past, I have done dresses for important people, for weddings and funerals.”

  • 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.

  • 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.
