  • A hopeful vision of a future Frome Residents were invited to envision a ‘Frome of the near future’ recently, when environmental campaigner, writer and activist Rob Hopkins launched his new book in town. The launch of his book ‘How to Fall in Love with the Future: A Time Traveller’s Guide to Changing the World’, involved a daytime workshop followed by an evening ‘in conversation’ with Rob at the Cheese and Grain, organised by Frome Town Council. Participants were encouraged to envision a Frome of the near future, with a focus on possibility, imagination and optimism, making a choice to say ‘yes, and’ instead of ‘yes, but’, even in the face of the enormous challenge of climate change. The approach is detailed in his latest book. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio Pictured: Fayon Dixon, Rob Hopkins and Cllr Fiona Barrows. The Rob Hopkins book launch.

  • The Unravelling Wilburys ride into town this month Following an extensive summer tour that drew sell-out audiences all the way to Aberdeen and back, local band, the Unravelling Wilburys, will be returning to the Memorial Theatre this month.

Having taken back their act, they now include many songs from each of the Traveling Wilburys back catalogue. Expect the best of Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan. Thinly disguised as Walter and Willie Wilbury are two familiar Frome names, John Freeman and Martin Dimery, who met when teachers at Frome College.

Residents are invited to a musical theatre production of Roald Dahl’s beloved story, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, opening on 4th December. Keep an eye on local and social media to find out which shops in Frome will be stocking the special, limited edition Merlin Wonka bar.

The child performers, divided into two teams playing on alternate nights, were selected from over 50 youngsters who braved the audition process in July.
