Seed Talks – The History of Folk Horror
2026-04-01 19:00 - 21:00 (Europe/London) | Cheese and Grain, Market Yard, Frome, BA11 1BE
Explore the shadowy history of folk horror and its connection to ancient customs and rituals on the British Isles. Followed by Q&A.
Why do stories of ghosts, witches and shapes in the night continue to haunt our imaginations? What is it about those ancient landscapes, ruined churches, mist-shrouded moors and lonely country lanes which so frequently feature in folk horror tales? In this talk, Professor Marisa Linton uncovers the strange and compelling history of folk horror in the British Isles – from eerie legends rooted in pagan belief to tales shaped by the land itself, its forgotten rituals, sacred sites and unsettling past.
Tracing a line from whispered folklore through the chilling ghost stories of M. R. James and Arthur Conan Doyle, and on to Gothic classics such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula, we will explore how folk horror has continually reinvented fear for new generations. From The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General, to modern stories of outsiders stumbling upon remote communities still ruled by “old ways,” the genre has never stopped evolving. Today, folk horror is experiencing a revival, as writers and filmmakers breathe fresh life into ancient legends, revealing that the uncanny is very much alive and thriving in the twenty-first century.
Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm – come down early to grab a good seat!

Sabbotage (Black Sabbath Tribute) – Live At The Tree House
2026-03-28 19:00 - 21:00 | The Tree House, 35 Berkley Road, Frome, Somerset, BA11 2EH, United Kingdom
Now celebrating over a decade on the UK tribute circuit, 2026 marks a powerful new chapter for Sabbotage Black Sabbath Tribute. Following the passing of the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, this show stands not only as an electrifying live experience, but also as a heartfelt celebration of the man and the music that gave birth to heavy metal.
Sabbotage deliver one of the most authentic and uncompromising Ozzy-era Black Sabbath shows anywhere in the UK. With a repertoire spanning well over two and a half hours of classic material, the band captures the raw power, dark atmosphere, and unmistakable groove that defined Sabbath in their prime. From crushing riffs to iconic vocals, Sabbotage remain the closest you can get to experiencing the Godfathers of Heavy Rock in their heyday.
Formed in November 2014 from the ashes of the established Sabbath tribute Snowblind, Sabbotage quickly earned a reputation as one of the most faithful and hard-hitting Black Sabbath tributes on the circuit. From their very first shows, it was clear this band was something special.
Each member is a highly accomplished and experienced musician, united by a deep passion for early Black Sabbath. That shared dedication shines through in every performance, creating an intense, immersive, and unforgettable live experience.
For fans who never had the chance to see Black Sabbath in their original incarnation — and for those who want to relive the magic once more Sabbotage is as close to the real thing as it gets. With their ever-expanding catalogue of Sabbath classics, the band continue to honour Ozzy’s legacy by keeping this timeless music loud, heavy, and alive.
Please note this is an 18+ all standing event, and the venue is accessed by stairs with no lift. If you have any enquiries please email thetreehouse@cheeseandgrain.com

Fresh from supporting Oasis on their monumental return to stadiums this summer, Cast frontman John Power is coming to Frome for an Intimate Evening With event.
Cast, The La’s, and Me – An Intimate Evening With Singer/Songwriter John Power
Cast’s John Power will return to intimate venues with his spoken word tour next spring. He’ll go back on the road with his Cast, The La’s and Me tour – undoubtedly with some extra stories from this summer, when Cast supports Oasis in their return to stadium rock.
John had the best rock’n’roll apprenticeship ever – playing bass as an 18-year-old in The La’s. Forming Cast in 1991, he sang, wrote songs, and played guitar for one of Britpop’s pre-eminent bands–securing two platinum-selling records before returning to the charts in 2024 with the magnificent Love Is The Call.
John’s solo career produced some of his best work and through this summer, Cast will join Oasis at their sell-out football stadium tour.
He said: “I had an absolute belter of a time on the road and can’t wait to go at it again; I am pretty sure I’ll have some great stories from the summer ahead, as well as plenty of other from my career until now. See you there!”
After a very busy 2025, spring will once again, give John time to reflect on Britpop, the hits – Alright, Sandstorm, Walkaway, Flying and more – in this intimate show that mixes his best-loved songs with wild, funny, and tender stories.

Marcus Brigstocke: Vitruvian Mango
2026-03-21 19:30 - 21:30 | Merlin Theatre, Bath Road, Frome, BA11 2HG
What are men for? Most heavy things can be lifted by machines and most problems can be solved by computers and most puddles can be crossed without us gallantly draping our capes over them – so are we fellas of any use at all?
Award winning MAN Marcus Brigstocke thinks we might still serve some useful function. But what is it? This new tour show will resolve the entire issue once and for all (in a non-patriarchal, open minded, progressive sort of way).
DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man is the image of the ideal male form. Marcus’ Vitruvian Mango is the same, but sweeter, softer, seasonally available and, when ripe, delicately perfumed
