Life as a mum can be wonderful, exhausting and, at times, lonely. It’s easy to spend so much time looking after everyone else that you forget to look after yourself.
Singing Mamas is a warm, welcoming wellbeing singing group where you can come exactly as you are. No auditions, no performances and absolutely no singing experience needed.
Together we’ll sing simple, uplifting songs from around the world, learning everything by ear in a relaxed and supportive space. Singing has been shown to reduce stress, lift mood, regulate the nervous system and help us feel more connected to ourselves and each other.
Babies and young children are very welcome. They can play, feed, nap, wander around or join in however they like. There is no expectation for little ones to sit still or be quiet.
After an hour of singing, we stay for tea, cake and conversation, because community matters just as much as the singing.
Whether you’re pregnant, a new mum, have toddlers, school-aged children or simply long for connection with other women, you’ll find a place here.
Come for the singing.
Leave feeling lighter, calmer and connected.
What to expect:

One hour of joyful, relaxed singing
Tea, cake and conversation afterwards
A friendly, supportive community
A space where both you and your child are welcome exactly as you are
You don’t need a good singing voice
You just need to come.

Illyria: Pinocchio
2026-09-06 15:00 - 16:30 | Merlin Theatre, Bath Road, Frome, BA11 2HG
Carlo Collodi’s classic is a perennial favourite. It is the third most translated book in the world, having appeared in no fewer than 260 languages since it was published in 1883, and has never been out of print. Childless toymaker Geppetto buys a piece of wood to make a puppet, little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away, but instead of excitement, only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers.
He returns home, hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations are just beginning. Running away hasn’t worked; lying won’t work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves. Collodi describes the development from puppet to real boy in the same way that useless green timber is matured into useful, well-seasoned wood – a transformation only achieved through trials of water and fire. Illyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show.
This performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets, cushions, and chairs. We welcome picnics, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather, this event will move inside.
Running time: 95 minutes including interval

Illyria: the Pirates of Penzance
2026-09-12 18:00 - 20:00 | Merlin Theatre, Bath Road, Frome, BA11 2HG
Frederick, accidentally apprenticed to Pirates as a child, is indentured to the Pirate King until his 21st birthday. On the day he reaches 21 he leaves the ship, announcing that he now intends to dedicate his life to the Pirates’ destruction. The Pirate King checks the contract’s small print – and realises that as Frederick’s birthday is 29th February on a leap year he has only had four birthdays and is actually indentured for another 63 years. With only the Penzance constabulary to protect him, will Frederick be forced to serve the pirates until he is 84? And will his sweetheart, Mabel, wait for him that long?
Performed by a six-strong cast of actors/singers with fully orchestrated accompaniment, The Pirates of Penzance boasts such gloriously memorable songs as “To be a Pirate King!”; “Modern Major General” and “A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One”. With razor-sharp satire and glittering wit, it remains as fresh as if it had been written today.
This performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets, cushions, and chairs. We welcome picnics, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather, this event will move inside.
