This month we’re celebrating the colour, creativity and community spirit that make Frome so special. We head to Frome Pride to meet the people behind the event, soak up the atmosphere and hear why it’s so important to celebrate.

Festival fever is in full swing this July - we catch up with the team behind Frome Festival and discover a unique Writers in Residence competition that’s turning shops and cafés into creative spaces.

Our Local Legend this month is Tony Perry from The Bridge, whose kindness and dedication have changed countless lives in Frome.

Sonia’s latest challenge serves up more than a few scoops of fun as she tries to identify mystery ice cream flavours at La Strada and Palette and Pasture.

We also visit Vallis Farm, where inspiring workshops are helping people reconnect with nature and the outdoors.

And Becky rounds up everything happening in and around Frome this July with her Fabulous Frome Forecast.

So whether you’re looking for inspiration, a few laughs or simply the inside scoop on what’s happening in town, we’ve got something for everyone.

What do a giant travelling coat, a silent disco in Victoria Park and a crowd full of Kate Bush lookalikes have in common? Apparently, Frome.

This month, Sonia throws herself into ecstatic dancing for her monthly challenge, Daisy meets local legend Ginny Parratt from Cats in Distress, and catches up with the remarkable Coat of Hopes on its journey through town.

We also discover the joys of fancy dress to de-stress at Bath Theatrical and join dozens of women (and a few men) dressed in grey and sporting black wigs for the wonderfully surreal Kate Bush flashmob.

Plus, Becky returns with the Fabulous Frome Forecast - her bumper guide to what's happening in and around town this June. From wigs to wellbeing, cats to Catherine Hill, it's another packed month on When in Frome.

Come what May…Frome is connecting.

This month on When in Frome, we’re celebrating the people, projects and ideas bringing the town together. From Frome Connects, a month-long programme of community events, to Fromebase, a new initiative giving building materials a second life.

Sonia meets a group that supports people living with dementia through nature, and takes on this month’s challenge…a barre class, with surprising success.

Daisy meets our Local Legend, Caroline Blake, whose work at the Victoria Park Café creates a welcoming space where people can connect every day, and Becky brings you the Fabulous Frome Forecast, her definitive guide to everything to see and do this month.

Proof that in Frome, connection is never more than a cup of tea, a good idea...or a Kate Bush flashmob away!
