SUMMARY:Frome Drama Club: Seasons Greetings
DESCRIPTION:Cheating at snakes and ladders\, fighting over comic books\, a bungled infidelity beneath the tree… \nYes\, Christmas has arrived in the Bunker household along with family and friends! But it’s the adults\, not the children\, who are letting the side down. Presiding over the festivities are two warring uncles\, one a kindly\, incompetent doctor with a puppet show to perform; the other a retired security guard who dominates the TV and buys toy guns for his nieces. \nArriving at the Merlin in time for festive season\, this seriously comic classic offers a hilarious look at the strains and high jinks of an average family Christmas. \nRunning time: 120 minutes including interval\nAll Tickets: £16 | Concession: £10

SUMMARY:Wild Winter - A Gathering for Conscious Teams
DESCRIPTION:Across cultures\, winter is a season for turning inwards\, taking stock of what has been learned\, and trusting the unseen work happening beneath the surface. Christmas and New Year at 42 Acres reflects this ancient rhythm\, with time to slow down\, reflect on the year that has been\, and tend to the relationships that will carry the team forward. \nGather around the fire in our oak forest glade\, an ancient woodland that has offered sanctuary for 13 centuries\, make something of the land with your hands\, or build a living legacy in the landscape that will endure for decades to come. Come together around a long\, shared table for a unique wild winter lunch featuring ingredients organically-grown and wild-foraged right here. \nYour Day \nFor small local teams who want to celebrate differently\, this is a chance to come together with other like-minded organisations and make your Christmas gathering part of something bigger. \n10am: Everything at 42 begins with the land. We’re restoring ecosystems and discovering that\, as we heal the land\, we heal ourselves too. Gather around the fire\, an elemental ritual as old as time. A welcome drink of mulled apple juice lands you in this time and place\, these apples were grown just a few steps away. We’ll host a fireside experience designed to bring your team into deeper connection. \n11am: Choose your Wild Experience for your team\, designed to cultivate a deeper sense of belonging\, both with each other and with the natural world. \nWild Winter Crafting: Settle beside a roaring fire and work with natural materials from the land\, slowing down and making something together* \nFuture Orchard Grafting: Learn the ancient art of grafting and help create an apple orchard\, an environmental contribution has a life well beyond the day itself* \n1pm: Gather around a long\, shared table for Wild Winter Lunch\, served family-style and rooted in the land around you. \n3pm: Head home feeling nourished and connected. \n£95 per person \n—\n*Future Orchard Grafting \nLearn the ancient skill of grafting as your team creates a fledgling apple orchard. Take cuttings from our existing apple trees and graft them onto rootstock\, creating dozens of young fruit trees. \nThis hands-on experience builds practical skills\, encourages collaboration\, and connects to food resilience. These trees will continue to grow\, creating a living legacy for your team. \nWe invite you to name the orchard\, adding it to our map and official records. You’re welcome to revisit to plant out your trees\, and eventually picnic under their boughs. \nIndoors & Outdoors\, Moderate Effort \n*Wild Winter Crafting \nTry your hand at wild crafting by a roaring fire. Create a festive wreath to take home\, or a winter nature crown to wear to your private dining experience. \nWe’ll provide beautiful winter materials foraged from the land\, and guide you in creating something entirely your own. Work with nature\, express your style\, and see what emerges. \nCrown yourselves for dinner in your wild creation – some turn out beautiful\, some…quite ‘unexpected’\, all uniquely yours. Or make a festive wreath and take a little piece of 42 Acres home with you.

SUMMARY:New Old Friends: Crimes on the Christmas Express
DESCRIPTION:An all-new hilarious Christmas comedy thriller from the people behind Crimes Against Christmas last year. \nTommy Albyn\, the whisky laird\, has died\, and an eccentric cast of characters who hope to inherit his wealth are summoned for a perilous train ride through the Scottish Highlands in the dead of winter before his will can be read. Will they all survive? Spoiler alert: no. But it’ll be fun to watch the ride. \nThe plot is sort of Succession meets The Traitors meets Murder on the Orient Express\, but as with all New Old Friends shows is mainly a vehicle for the fun of watching four talented actors play multiple roles with lightning-fast costume changes\, set pieces as clever as they are ridiculous\, plenty of visual gags\, and some wonderfully witty wordplay. \nWe are utterly thrilled that our multi-award-winning associate company is presenting this world premiere at the Merlin. The 2025 show sold incredibly well\, and the word is out now\, so we expect this to sell out. Booking early is strongly advised.\nHeadline show sponsor: Brûler \nNew Old Friends is a Merlin Associate Company \nTickets: £15 early bird special until September\nAfter September: £17 | Concessions including Blue Light Card: £15\nAge Guidance: 12+\nRunning Time: 100 minutes plus interval

SUMMARY:New Old Friends: Crimes on the Christmas Express
DESCRIPTION:An all-new hilarious Christmas comedy thriller from the people behind Crimes Against Christmas last year. \nTommy Albyn\, the whisky laird\, has died\, and an eccentric cast of characters who hope to inherit his wealth are summoned for a perilous train ride through the Scottish Highlands in the dead of winter before his will can be read. Will they all survive? Spoiler alert: no. But it’ll be fun to watch the ride. \nThe plot is sort of Succession meets The Traitors meets Murder on the Orient Express\, but as with all New Old Friends shows is mainly a vehicle for the fun of watching four talented actors play multiple roles with lightning-fast costume changes\, set pieces as clever as they are ridiculous\, plenty of visual gags\, and some wonderfully witty wordplay. \nWe are utterly thrilled that our multi-award-winning associate company is presenting this world premiere at the Merlin. The 2025 show sold incredibly well\, and the word is out now\, so we expect this to sell out. Booking early is strongly advised.\nHeadline show sponsor: Brûler \nNew Old Friends is a Merlin Associate Company \nTickets: £15 early bird special until September\nAfter September: £17 | Concessions including Blue Light Card: £15\nAge Guidance: 12+\nRunning Time: 100 minutes plus interval

SUMMARY:Wild Winter – A Gathering for Conscious Teams
DESCRIPTION:Across cultures\, winter is a season for turning inwards\, taking stock of what has been learned\, and trusting the unseen work happening beneath the surface. Christmas and New Year at 42 Acres reflects this ancient rhythm\, with time to slow down\, reflect on the year that has been\, and tend to the relationships that will carry the team forward. \nGather around the fire in our oak forest glade\, an ancient woodland that has offered sanctuary for 13 centuries\, make something of the land with your hands\, or build a living legacy in the landscape that will endure for decades to come. Come together around a long\, shared table for a unique wild winter lunch featuring ingredients organically-grown and wild-foraged right here. \nYour Day \nFor small local teams who want to celebrate differently\, this is a chance to come together with other like-minded organisations and make your Christmas gathering part of something bigger. \n10am: Everything at 42 begins with the land. We’re restoring ecosystems and discovering that\, as we heal the land\, we heal ourselves too. Gather around the fire\, an elemental ritual as old as time. A welcome drink of mulled apple juice lands you in this time and place\, these apples were grown just a few steps away. We’ll host a fireside experience designed to bring your team into deeper connection. \n11am: Choose your Wild Experience for your team\, designed to cultivate a deeper sense of belonging\, both with each other and with the natural world. \nWild Winter Crafting: Settle beside a roaring fire and work with natural materials from the land\, slowing down and making something together* \nFuture Orchard Grafting: Learn the ancient art of grafting and help create an apple orchard\, an environmental contribution has a life well beyond the day itself* \n1pm: Gather around a long\, shared table for Wild Winter Lunch\, served family-style and rooted in the land around you. \n3pm: Head home feeling nourished and connected. \n£95 per person \n—\n*Future Orchard Grafting \nLearn the ancient skill of grafting as your team creates a fledgling apple orchard. Take cuttings from our existing apple trees and graft them onto rootstock\, creating dozens of young fruit trees. \nThis hands-on experience builds practical skills\, encourages collaboration\, and connects to food resilience. These trees will continue to grow\, creating a living legacy for your team. \nWe invite you to name the orchard\, adding it to our map and official records. You’re welcome to revisit to plant out your trees\, and eventually picnic under their boughs. \nIndoors & Outdoors\, Moderate Effort \n*Wild Winter Crafting \nTry your hand at wild crafting by a roaring fire. Create a festive wreath to take home\, or a winter nature crown to wear to your private dining experience. \nWe’ll provide beautiful winter materials foraged from the land\, and guide you in creating something entirely your own. Work with nature\, express your style\, and see what emerges. \nCrown yourselves for dinner in your wild creation – some turn out beautiful\, some…quite ‘unexpected’\, all uniquely yours. Or make a festive wreath and take a little piece of 42 Acres home with you.
