SUMMARY:The Grief Opera
DESCRIPTION:An extraordinary journey from shock and pain to profound love\, the Grief Opera may be the most emotional show you see this year. \nWhen rock musician George Linacre died by suicide\, his father Nigel started to write.  And Vladimir Miller\, a contemporary music band leader\, began composing using George’s bass rhythms. Together\, they created the Grief Opera. \nAn extraordinary journey from shock and pain to profound love\, the Grief Opera may be the most emotional show you see this year. The Grief Opera shines a spotlight on suicide\, the most common cause of death in young men\, and the consequent\, harrowing grief. Its creators hope it will enable people to have potentially life-saving conversations and to work with their grief. Mr. Miller lost a band member to suicide earlier in his career. \nAn opera\, concert and musical rolled into one\, it fuses haunting melodies and quirky jazz.

SUMMARY:A Kinder Way to Well: Bringing Compassion Back to Self-Care
DESCRIPTION:An interactive workshop inviting you to rethink self-care through kindness\, compassion\, and a more human understanding of wellbeing. \nSelf-care is meant to help us feel better. Yet for many of us\, it has increasingly become another area of pressure\, something we should be doing “properly\,” keeping up with\, or fixing ourselves through. \nThis interactive workshop offers a different way in. \nLed by wellbeing writer\, podcaster and coach Claire Fitzsimmons\, this session invites you to explore what wellbeing looks like when it’s rooted in kindness\, compassion\, and curiosity rather than self-improvement or constant striving. Instead of asking what needs to change\, we’ll gently explore what needs care. \nThrough guided reflection\, conversation\, and simple\, accessible exercises\, you’ll be supported to rethink your relationship with self-care itself\, widening it beyond routines\, rules\, or trends\, and reconnecting it to the very real experience of being a person in the world today. \nThis workshop is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by wellbeing advice\, disconnected from themselves\, or just unsure whether the way they’ve been taught to “look after themselves” actually works for them. \nYou’ll leave with: \n\n\nA more compassionate understanding of what self-care can be \n\n\nGreater clarity about what supports your emotional and mental wellbeing \n\n\nReflections and ideas you can return to in everyday life \n\n\nA sense of self-trust that doesn’t rely on doing more or being better \n\n\nAs part of the Frome Kindness Festival\, this workshop explores kindness as something we can practise inwardly as well as outwardly. Because extending kindness to ourselves isn’t indulgent or selfish\, it’s often the foundation that allows us to meet the world\, and each other\, with more care. \n  \nABOUT CLAIRE FITZIMMONS \nClaire Fitzsimmons is the co-founder of If Lost\, Start Here\, a Somerset-based wellbeing company on a mission to help people get to a better place. As an ICF Associate Certified Coach and a certified emotions coaching practitioner\, Claire works with women navigating change\, burnout\, emotional overwhelm or simply a sense of feeling stuck. Her coaching sessions help people untangle what they’re feeling\, find clarity\, and build a sustainable wellbeing practice that fits who they are now. \nClaire’s writing on mental health\, emotions and midlife wellbeing has appeared in Happiful\, Breathe\, The Simple Things\, and others. She’s also been included in features in Stylist\, Red\, and Psychologies. \nClaire is the host of the podcast A Thought I Kept. Each week she speaks with guests from across creative\, academic\, business and wellbeing fields about the ideas that last a lifetime \nClaire was also Regional Finalist for Best Wellbeing Specialist in Dorset\, Somerset & Bristol for The Muddy Stilettos Awards 2025

SUMMARY:Seize the Day
DESCRIPTION:“Bold\, Beautiful Frontline Folk” from the renowned southwest 7-piece combo\, with passionate\, anthemic songs to inspire us in our struggles for a kinder world. \nSeize The Day are an English acoustic band in the radical folk tradition\, who draw on global musical roots. They write songs about whatever needs to change or be defended in this world\, they sing to make you laugh about it\, cry about it\, dance about it – maybe even inspire you to imagine that you can DO something about it. \nSeize The Day came out of Britain’s Road Protest Movement in 1996\, when Theo and Shannon began playing together at the site of the Newbury Bypass in Southern England. Since then the line-up has expanded and gone through many incarnations\, with their sounds evolving along the way. \nThey play at major British festivals like Glastonbury\, as well as community venues across the country. But you’re just as likely to meet them at your nearest frontline protest or union picket line. Although they no longer fly abroad because of the CO2 emissions of air-travel\, they’ve previously toured in American towns and cities\, Indian farming villages\, Europe and Palestine. \n30 years experience has only strengthened their conviction that all lives are connected\, and kindness is the key to every heart\, even in the hardest of times. They sing to bring themselves and their audience back to this reality\, celebrating their victories and appreciating their connection with Mother Earth. This is your chance to chase away the shadows and re-connect with simple human kindness in these challenging times.

SUMMARY:The Gift of Water: A story of kindness and unkindness in Frome\, past\, present and future
DESCRIPTION:The Gift of Water. A story of kindness and unkindness in Frome\, past\, present and future. \nJayne Sadgrove (Chair\, Frome Society) with Simon Keyes \nOur taps now give us drinking water. We take it for granted. \nBut it took over ten years for town leaders to agree that Frome needed piped drinking water in the 1870s. Learn why people denied that a clean water supply was needed. Surely it was obvious? \nDiscover how our predecessors managed to provide water for their families\, for drinking\, cooking and washing. There are visible traces around our town.\nAccess to clean water is vital for health. How can we ensure drinking water is freely available to all in our town today? \nThis special evening is a first-ever collaboration between the Kindness Festival and the Frome Society. It will consist of a presentation followed by an interval\, discussion and Q&A. Wine and soft drinks will be available for purchase. It will also be possible to participate online.

SUMMARY:Frome Kindness Festival - Rob Hopkins
DESCRIPTION:The world feels so profoundly unkind right now. But is that how it’s always going to be? \nWould a society rooted in kindness be a better way to reach the kind of future we all long to see? Transition movement founder\, time traveller and author Rob Hopkins will give the 2026 Kindness Festival lecture in which he will take us on a journey to visit the future that resulted from our placing kindness at the heart of policy\, economics and society. \nHe will share with us things he saw there\, stories he heard\, and what it felt like to be there. As bell hooks once put it\, “what we cannot imagine cannot come into being”. \nSo join him\, as he steps through the fabric of time\, taking us with him\, to immerse ourselves in a world built on kindness. You’ll be glad you went.

SUMMARY:Imagine more Kindness in Schools
DESCRIPTION:An evening for parents\, teachers\, and anyone concerned about bringing more kindness into schools and other learning environments. \nIn the first half of the evening\, Masha Kastner has generously agreed to be interviewed about her experience as the mother of a 13-year-old daughter\, Helena\, who took her own life in January 2024. Heli often asked: “Where is all this pressure coming from?” She deeply felt the weight of stress\, competition\, and unkindness in school\, and dreamed of a world where children were valued\, supported\, and free to be themselves. Masha and her partner David live in Trowbridge and in 2025 set up a new charity\, Kindwaves\, to take forward their vision of a world in which kindness comes first. \nIn the second half\, Melody Hunter-Evans will facilitate a discussion about the issues that have been raised\, and about how we can all imagine – and bring about – more kindness in schools. \nKindwaves is a new charity\, advocating for cultures of kindness in all learning environments\, to address the ongoing crisis of wellbeing for children\, young people\, families and educators. Kindwaves supports schools towards improving wellbeing\, engagement\, behaviour and staff sustainability by strengthening the relational systems that underpin learning. Using Participatory Action Research and consultancy\, Kindwaves works collaboratively\, enabling schools to identify and address cultural challenges with their community\, creating voice and agency: www.kindwaves.org.uk \nMelody Hunter-Evans is the Children and Young Person’s Officer for Frome Town Council\, who are supporting this event. \nMasha will be interviewed by Martha Oster\, an artist and educator who is deputy Chair of Governors at Vallis School and a board member of The Good Heart. \nTea\, coffee & biscuits will be provided in the break

SUMMARY:Menkind video screening
DESCRIPTION:Another chance to see a short video with men in Frome talking about what kindness means to them\, followed by discussion. For men only. \nSometimes kindness can be perceived as a feminine virtue and we set out to challenge this by asking six men in Frome what kindness means to them. The results are surprising and highlight that “kindness” can take many forms and may be called by other names. Last year’s screening to a packed room in The Crown led to an amazing group dialogue in which men shared stories about unexpected act of kindness they had experienced. This is another chance to see the film and hopefully be part of a similar conversation between men.

SUMMARY:Harp Meditation with Vicki Burke
DESCRIPTION:A guided meditation\, accompanied by the beautiful sounds of the harp\, using the creative power of the imagination to build our future from the inside out. \nThis is an invitation to everyone\, whether you are an experienced meditator or complete beginner\, to enjoy a peaceful and inspiring evening designed to bring about positive change in your life. \nAccompanied by the beautiful sounds of the heart\, it will help you access a relaxed state of being in which much-needed healing can take place and in which you can explore your ideas\, hopes and dreams for the future. \nAs a group\, we will explore the idea that we all have the potential to take a thought or emotion\, like a seed\, and let it grow in our inner world. As we nurture this idea in our imagination\, journey with it\, and begin to see how we can turn it into reality\, then real magic happens. So many of us already do this with our fears\, so imagine what it would be like if we were just as accomplished at manifesting our dreams! \nAs we return from our imagined future way of being\, we may feel the pain of loss\, because it feels so far away. We will then be guided on how to turn that pain into resilience\, giving us the strength to trust that we can walk this path that we have laid down again and again\, in the days\, weeks\, and years that will follow. In this way we can create the future that we long for.

SUMMARY:Kindness to Ourselves Through Movement & Dance
DESCRIPTION:We probably danced before we talked. Moving our bodies is part of being kind to ourselves and brings us in contact with others and with our environment. Dance gives us the freedom to move and become more joyfully empowered. \nIn this Dance Event you are invited to participate in three very different styles of dance. We will start with the luxurious curves and fluid moves of the Middle East\, progress to connecting with the power and earthiness of Africa and finish with the calm and meditative moves of the Circle Dance\, a form of dance that stretches across continents and cultures\, and connects us both to our inner selves and to the world around us. \nWe invite you to join in the experience of all three dances as a journey in music and movement. It is also possible to join for just one or two sessions of the three. \nWear loose comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement and soft shoes suitable for dancing \nBring a scarf large enough to tie round your hips for the Middle Eastern dance. \nThis event takes place at Rook Lane Chapel\, Bath Street\, Frome\, BA11 1DN.

SUMMARY:Exploring Forgiveness - Barbara J Hunt at The Kindness Festival
DESCRIPTION:Forgiveness is something most of us struggle with. It can feel confusing\, impossible\, and often deeply unfair – but it’s also arguably the most powerful way to release the emotional\nburdens we carry. This introductory talk offers a fresh\, practical look at what forgiveness really is\, what it isn’t and how it can make a genuine difference to your mental and emotional health. \nIf you’re feeling stuck over old hurts\, anger\, or regret\, this session will introduce forgiveness as a practice to help you find deeper peace within. You’ll explore the impacts of forgiveness – on your mental\, emotional and physical wellbeing. Forgiveness is never about saying that what happened was okay; it’s about finding freedom and moving on from the past. \nWe’ll also talk about why forgiveness can be so hard\, and the most common obstacles that get in our way. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what helps and what doesn’t\, along\nwith simple ways to start practicing forgiveness in your own life. \nThis workshop is a practical way of imagining more kindness—for yourself\, for others\, and for the world around you. When you decide to let go of a resentment\, your heart lightens up\, and makes space so more love can flow through you and into your world.

SUMMARY:Window Wanderland
DESCRIPTION:Frome Window Wanderlands have been a beloved annual event since 2018. It’s a wonderful opportunity to unleash your creativity\, engage with your community\, and celebrate the fun and artistry that Frome has to offer. Together\, we can turn the streets into a delightful outdoor gallery for everyone to enjoy! \nThis year we’re teaming up with the lovely folk at The Good Heart and running Frome Window Wanderland in conjunction with Frome Kindness Festival. That’s 8 full nights available for wandering. Teaming up with The Kindness Festival also fits nicely with the overall theme for Window Wanderlands throughout the country this year: ‘Hope’. You don’t have to use this theme for your window\, but if it sparks something for you do run with it. \nTaking part as a Windowmaker is FREE\, and everyone’s welcome. You can make a display in the windows of your flat\, house\, business\, school\, nursery\, car\, campervan\, shop – or your front garden! \nDon’t worry\, there’s no need to feel overwhelmed. Your setup can be as easy as placing a candle\, a book\, or some fairy lights in your window. Alternatively\, you could really get creative and put on a show in your living room! The possibilities are endless\, as long as it’s family friendly. \nFeeling inspired but not sure where to start?  Join one of our FREE workshops where we will show you some of the techniques you can use to create a window\, provide materials and help you get your window creation underway.  You can book into the workshops here: www.tickettailor.com/events/fromewindowwanderland  \nFurther workshops TBC\, please keep an eye on Frome Window Wanderland’s social media to be kept in the loop.

SUMMARY:Frome Grief Network - Community Conversations around grief and loss
DESCRIPTION:A gentle\, welcoming community event creating space to talk openly about grief and loss\, hear lived experiences\, ask questions\, and connect with others through conversation\, music and food. Do you ever wish we could have more open conversations about grief\, loss and bereavement? Would you like to understand more about what happens when someone dies\, or how to support yourself\, or others\, through times of change\, uncertainty and loss? Are you curious about what helps people feel less alone in their grief? \nThis gentle\, welcoming event creates space to talk openly about grief and to challenge the stigma that often surrounds it. Through short talks\, small-group conversations\, lived stories\, creative experiences and shared food\, we explore how grief is lived and supported and supported by community\, alongside some of the challenges we can face. There will be opportunities to hear people’s personal experiences of loss and what has helped them through\, alongside practical and emotional perspectives on bereavement. \nThe event is designed to be relaxed and supportive. You can drop in at any point and you are equally welcome to stay for the whole event. Whether you are personally affected by grief\, curious to learn more\, or working locally with people around loss and bereavement\, you are warmly invited. \nAlongside the conversations\, there will be a warming lunch of soup provided by The Good Heart (£3 per cup)\, plenty of tea and cake\, singing from Companion Voices\, and spaces to reflect. We will be displaying the Somerset Speak Their Name Memorial Quilt and the beautiful tree mural created collaboratively at last year’s event.
