SUMMARY:Peace mandala – Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo monastery
DESCRIPTION:Over three days\, Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery make a Peace Mandala\, representing a Buddha’s earthly palace using millions of grains of coloured sand. Watch the intricate design build up from the dedication ceremony. \nThe most intriguing and intricate example of the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism is the construction of the Sand Mandala. Made from millions of grains of coloured sand\, the image grows over a series of days until it can be visualised as the palace of the Buddha who visits our realm to bring wisdom\, compassion and peace. The initial dedication ceremony\, the construction and the final dismantling of the mandala are all part of this exhibition. The monks are highly qualified masters of mandala-making who have studied in the monastery since childhood. The final ceremony for the dismantling of the mandala takes place on Monday morning\, beginning with a blessing\, and concluding with a procession led by the monks to distribute the sand in running water. Return to the hall to collect some of the sand to take away as a memory of the mandala. \nVisits to the mandala and the final ceremony are free of charge with voluntary donations to Tashi Lhunpo Monastery to support the monks in their work. www.tashi-lhunpo.org.uk \nThis event is part of Frome Festival.

SUMMARY:Whispers of the Wild – a Nature Connection Wellbeing Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join the OpenStoryTellers Wellbeing Group for a unique guided walk designed to nurture your body\, calm your mind\, and leave you feeling connected. Along the way you will experience site-specific movement and poetry inspired by the landscape and the group will guide you through simple wellbeing activities that are suitable for all\, including yoga\, mindfulness activities\, and guided relaxation.\nStep outside\, slow down and reconnect with nature. Leave feeling refreshed\, connected\, and restored.\n\nLocation: Starting and finishing at OpenStoryTellers Hub\, Rise. Walking along the river\, via Henley Way to Welshmill Roundhouse. \n\n\nAccessibility: The walk involves steps down to the river\, please contact OpenStoryTellers to arrange alternative access. \n\nA note on accessibility: The ramp at Henley Way was removed in July 2025 and there is no current plan to replace this due to funding costs. We are very sorry that this Wellbeing Walk is not fully accessible but hope that we can use this to highlight the importance of a ramp being reinstated at Henley Way. Our artists have chosen to use this route because the longer way round via Jenson Button bridge isn’t accessible for them due to length.\n\n\nHome \n\n \n  \n  \nThis event is part of Frome Festival.

SUMMARY:Alice Seeley – Anti-Slavery Campaigner
DESCRIPTION:This joint exhibition with Photo|Frome presents searing photographs by Frome resident Alice Seeley (1870–1970) in King Leopold II’s Congo Free State. Using her Kodak camera\, she documented the mutilation of Congolese people under a brutal regime designed to enforce rubber production quotas. Shown internationally as lantern slides\, her images galvanised public opinion and resulted in the collapse of Leopold’s personal rule in 1908. Alice Seeley was arguably the first photographer to create and use her own images as part of an active campaign for social change. Some photographs in this exhibition may be distressing. \nThe exhibition runs during Frome Museum’s normal opening hours: 11am to 3pm Tuesday to Saturday\, plus Independent Market Sundays (5th July) \nwww.frome-museum.org \nThis event is part of Frome Festival.

SUMMARY:A Song of Thanksgiving – Beethoven’s String Quartet in a Minor Op 132
DESCRIPTION:By 1825\, nearing the end of his life\, Beethoven had suffered years of painful ill health\, emotionally draining family troubles and a profound deafness.

SUMMARY:Musicke in the Ayre – Silver Sounds of the Roman Seicento
DESCRIPTION:A delightful programme of early Baroque music from Rome\, with the voices of Maria Danishvar\, Jane Hunt and Philippa Neaverson soaring over Din Ghani’s archlute and baroque guitar in a happy hour of music that is intimate\, expressive\, and full of character — music that feels surprisingly direct\, even four hundred years on. \nMusicke in the Ayre’s contribution to the Festival’s 25th Anniversary features music by Rossi\, Carissimi\, Landi and Kapsberger – oustanding composers associated with Rome and the powerful Papal dynasties whose patronage enabled the flowering of such talent and creativity. This was a time when composers began to experiment with ways of affecting the listener\, of touching the heart\, and lifting the spirit. \nDin Ghani formed Musicke in the Ayre fifteen years ago as a vehicle for exploring and performing the wonderful and extensive repertoire for voice and plucked string from the 16th and 17th centuries across Europe. He has been fortunate enough to work with a team of keen singers who share his enthusiam for this music; together they have benefited from coaching and encouragement from Dame Emma Kirkby\, Evelyn Tubb\, Michael Fields and the late David Miller\, among others. They have given over 190 performances across the UK and on the Continent. Maria\, Jane and Philippa are well-known locally as solo and choral singers; they have been key members of the team for over a decade. \nAs well as researching\, designing and directing all their programmes\, Din has also built most of the instruments he uses\, including the two used in this concert. \nThis event is part of Frome Festival.
