DESCRIPTION:Live classical music played by professional musicians brought to the town by Frome Concerts Group in the beatiful setting of Rook Lane Chapel. Everyone welcome to buy single concert tickets (£16) or a subscription to all four concerts at a discount price. (£60 ). Lively contemporary relaxed events held on Sundays every Spring and Autumn. \nThe new show from the trio behind A Pocket Opera\, My My My Delilah! is a witty\, exhilarating mix of classical music\, storytelling and comedy. \n70% music and 30% spoken word\, My My My Delilah! is a riotous concert-play in which the Bible’s most notorious femme fatale finally gets to tell her side of the story. What really motivated her betrayal of Samson? Was she chasing fame\, settling scores\, or simply fed up with all that hair? \nPacked with virtuosic live music\, sharp comedy and unexpected twists\, this irreverent tale of rivalry\, superstardom\, power and vanity features music from some of opera’s greatest hits\, ingeniously reimagined for CarmenCo Trio’s unique combination of flute/voice and two guitars.

Rather than celebrating abundance\, it celebrates noticing\, seed heads instead of flowers\, texture instead of colour\, habitats instead of displays. \nTo celebrate this Autumn Equinox we invite you to join Amanda Randell Cox\, a local artist specialising in landscape-led botanical design\, at Heal Somerset for a morning of exploration\, creation and delicious food. We will start the day with tea\, coffee\, fruit and pastries followed by a guided walk around our beautiful rewilding site.  We will then return to the community nature cabin for a creative botanical session inspired by everything we’ve just seen together during the morning walk. \nCreate your own beautiful autumn meadow using seasonal grasses and seed heads\, before making a delicate wire insect to nestle within it. Your finished meadow will be yours to take home and enjoy. \nFinally\, we will enjoy a seasonal vegetarian brunch surrounded by the botanical table meadows created together\, with time to reflect on the changing season and everything discovered during the morning. \nTimings \n7.30am Meet at the Community Nature Cabin for tea\, coffee\, fruit and pastries \n7.45am Welcome and introduction to the Autumn Equinox\, followed by a guided walk through Heal’s beautiful rewilding landscape \n9.00am Return to the Community Nature Cabin for a creative botanical session \n10.15am Seasonal vegetarian brunch \n11.00am Event ends \nAbout your guide\, Amanda Randell Cox \nAmanda Randell Cox is a botanical artist\, creative project manager and RHS Chelsea Gold medallist whose work explores the relationship between people\, plants and place. \nAfter more than twenty years creating floral installations\, teaching professional floristry and working closely with historic gardens and landscapes\, her practice has evolved towards landscape-led botanical design\, inspired by the textures\, seed heads and quiet beauty of rewilding landscapes as the seasons change. \nAmanda’s work is rooted in the belief that creativity begins with noticing\, slowing down to observe the rhythms of the landscape\, understanding how habitats support wildlife\, and discovering beauty in the often-overlooked details of nature. \nShe is delighted to be sharing this special Autumn Equinox Gathering at Heal Somerset\, inviting guests to slow down\, observe and create together in celebration of the changing season\, and an invitation to keep noticing long after the morning ends.

Migrants arrive from the north to spend the winter here\, while summer visitors begin their journeys south. Hedgerows are alive with activity as birds feast on the season’s berries\, and grasslands and wetlands provide vital feeding grounds for both resident and passing species. \nJoin expert wildlife guide Nick Patel for a guided walk through the evolving habitats of Heal Somerset\, focusing on the rich and dynamic world of autumn birdlife. During this relaxed walk\, Nick will help you identify birds by sight and sound\, offering insights into plumage changes\, migration patterns\, and the different behaviours you are likely to observe at this time of year. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced birder\, you’ll come away with fresh skills and a deeper understanding of how birds adapt to the turning season. \nYou’ll also have the chance to learn more about how rewilding at Heal Somerset is creating safe havens for birdlife\, and how these habitats support biodiversity through the colder months. \nWhat you might see: redwing\, spotted flycatcher\, long tailed tit\, bullfinch\, stonechat\, blackcap\, goldcrest\, meadow pipit\, yellow wagtail\, green sandpiper\, snipe\, lapwing. \nAbout your guide\, Nick Patel: \nNick is a tour guide\, conservationist\, naturalist and birder and is passionate about helping to protect\, create and maintain British wildlife. A lifelong Birdwatcher\, and former Nature reserve Warden\, Nick has devoted his life to shouting about how amazing our native biodiversity is and just why we should care for it. Autumn migration is a particular passion of his\, and one of his favourite times of year to be out birding. \nNick says “Having led tours here at Heal Somerset for two years now\, I’ve witnessed first-hand the speed at which nature has already made a comeback. I’m super passionate about showing everyone who visits the site the wealth of wildlife bouncing back\, including some really beautiful species and fabulous rewilding habitats.” URL:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/event/autumn-birds-with-nick-patel/ LOCATION:Heal Somerset\, Lower West Barn Farm\, Bindon Lane\, Frome\, Somerset\, BA11 5HH\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Animals,Environment,Guided walks,Nature,Sustainability,Walks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/avjeuylodycpj3z5hmi5.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Heal Somerset":MAILTO:events@healrewilding.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260911T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260911T200000 DTSTAMP:20260810T151348Z CREATED:20260810T151348Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260810T151348Z UID:10023977-1789153200-1789156800@www.discoverfrome.co.uk SUMMARY:SLO | YIN Monthly Sound Bath @Rise DESCRIPTION:SLO | YIN Signature Sound Bath \nA candlelit sound bath to clear stagnant energy\, restore balance and reconnect with a calmer\, more grounded state. \nThrough the vibrations of singing bowls\, gongs\, chimes and grounding instruments\, the body is guided into deep rest while the subtle energy of the space supports a quiet rebalancing\, creating room for clarity\, lightness and renewal. \nThis experience supports:\n✨ Energetic clearing and rebalancing\n✨ Releasing tension and emotional build-up\n✨ Deep rest and nervous system regulation\n✨ A sense of clarity\, grounding and inner space \nWhether you’re feeling energetically heavy\, mentally full or simply in need of stillness\, this session offers space to reset and return to yourself. \nReserve one of our YIN beds for ultimate comfort – Highly Recommended.\nEach bed includes a soft mattress\, pillow\, cosy blanket\, silky eye mask and aromatherapy bath salts\, to breathe in during the session and take home to extend the YIN feeling.

Join our brilliant volunteer reptile surveyor\, Lynne Sewell\, for a small-group Family Reptile Adventure\, where you’ll explore the fascinating world of Britain’s native reptiles. \nLynne knows all the best places to look and will lead a gentle walk around Heal Somerset\, sharing her knowledge of the reptiles that call the site home. Along the way\, you’ll learn how to spot and identify different species\, discover the habitats they depend on and keep an eye out for plenty of other summer wildlife too. \nThe walk also takes in our thriving wetlands\, where you’ll be able to see the remarkable changes our resident beavers have been making to the landscape and you may even meet our friendly\, wild-living tamworth pigs\, Ticket and Tailor. \nLizards and other species you might see: At Heal\, we have recorded common lizard\, slow worm\, grass snake\, common toad and all three native newt species: smooth newt\, palmate newt and great crested newt. You can also expect to see dragonflies\, butterflies\, birds and a host of other summer wildlife. \nAbout your guide\, Lynne \nLynne has been interested in reptiles and amphibians for as long as she can remember. As a child\, she would lift rocks or discarded sheets of corrugated iron in the hope of finding reptiles sheltering beneath them. Lynne says “on one memorable occasion\, I even jumped into a lake to catch a grass snake which I then took home to my long-suffering parents! That fascination has stayed with me throughout my life\, and I still feel a thrill whenever I lift something that might be hiding a reptile or amphibian underneath.

Influenced by our individual experiences and ways of portraying the world\, Mark Elliott Smith\, Bernard Charnley and Kate Cochrane\, collaborate and provoke our perspectives and insights into specific genres. \nMark Elliott Smith’s work brings something new to abstraction. Inspired by dance and costume\, mediaeval art\, and his response to music\, he builds images which are analogues of the process of construction and destruction\, fragmentation and coherence. Painting in layers of flat acrylic colour\, his work animates space while creating the illusion of depth\, imparting an energising\, positive sense of possibility through his playful use of colour and form. \nBernard Charnley combines layered oil paint with oil bars and inserted sections of canvas\, creating work which moves between abstraction and figuration\, examining the relationships between geometry\, surface\, depth\, and illusion as imprints of the human. His interest in philosophy informs his portfolio of work\, which reflects on the nature of social fracture. \nKate Cochrane works in a variety of media\, including oils\, acrylics\, gouache\, and dry pastels. Taking inspiration from landscape\, trees\, rocks\, castle ruins and reflections in water\, her process of creating paintings\, along with wanting to express how she feels\, results in a rich tapestry of colour and texture. \n3 Aug – 13 Sept \nOpen: Sun – Tue / 9 – 5pm\nOpen: Wed – Sat / 9 – 9pm URL:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/event/nexus-exhibition/ LOCATION:The Station Gallery\, Station Approach\, Frome\, Somerset\, BA11 1RE\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Arts,Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Frome-station-poster-idea-NEW2A-e1782983418164.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Kate Cochrane":MAILTO:info@fromeopenstudios.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260726T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260726T140000 DTSTAMP:20260528T090240Z CREATED:20260512T105427Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260528T090240Z UID:10020866-1785060000-1785074400@www.discoverfrome.co.uk SUMMARY:Wild Guardians at 42 Acres DESCRIPTION:A relaxed\, monthly volunteer gathering to support nature restoration. Rooted in a spirit of community and curiosity. Join us to learn new skills\, spend time in nature\, and connect with like-minded folk. \nCome and spend a few hours in nature doing something that matters. No experience is necessary\, just a willingness to get stuck in and try something new. \n42 Acres has been a rewilding nature reserve for over a decade and is species-rich. Join us to connect with the natural world through hands-on activities from wildlife surveying\, to tending habitats\, and slowing down with nature photography. \nSessions run on the last Sunday of the month 10am-2pm (except in May when we are meeting at 8pm for bats and beavers!). There will be time to connect\, wander\, and simply be outside. If you’re up for it\, you’re welcome to join in for a wild swim too. At 1pm we’ll stop and share a simple lunch together\, provided by 42 Acres. \n____ \nSun 31 May: Bats and Beavers: \nPart of the Great Somerset Wildlife Count\, with guest expert Keith Ball (Somerset Bat Group). Please note: this is an evening session\, running 8–10pm\, as we head out for some gentle nocturnal exploration. \nSun 28 June: Hazel Dormice & Reading Nature: \nJoin us to create footprint tunnels for hazel dormice to discover whether this protected species (that have been spotted on neighbouring land!) exist at 42. We’ll also take a relaxed walk around the 11-acre lake\, recording observations and contributing to global biodiversity databases. We’ll look for signs of beaver activity\, tracks\, and birdlife\, and finish at the white stork enclosure\, part of our species reintroduction work. Guided by Lynne Sewell (Sustainable Witham)\, Robyn Caple (@nestandnettleecology)\, and Lisa Hawes (42 Acres). \nSun 26 July: Butterflies\, Dragonflies + Pond Dipping: \nPart of the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme\, one of the longest-running insect surveys in the world. With guest expert Fred Giles\, we’ll explore the world of butterflies\, dragonflies\, and other insects\, with a chance to get closer through pond dipping and observation. \nSun 30 Aug: Reptiles and Botanics: \nJoin us to check reptile refuges across the site\, helping us understand which species are present (and which are likely absent). Or take a creative route\, help us start making a handmade herbarium for the site while learning how to “key out”\, a step by step process used to identify unknown plant species. \nSun 27 Sep: Trees\nDiscover the stories of Britain’s ancient and veteran trees\, and learn how to identify and photograph them in their late-summer form. \nSun 25 Oct: Harvest Mice and Native Fungi:\nHelp us ascertain whether harvest mice are present on the land at 42\, we’ll search together for their tiny nests. We’ll also explore the world of fungi\, discovering what’s emerging across the site at this time of year. \nPlease Note: \n– Gloves and wellies/boots are necessary.\n– If you have issues with mobility please let us know before signing up\, we will do our best to accommodate.\n– Please book only if you’re committed to attending and staying for the entire session.\n– If you become unable to attend\, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your space to someone else.\n– If rain stops play\, we have a Plan B and will aim to move inside to create bee bricks and/or a herbarium together.\n– Please speak with your licensed medical health professional if you have any health conditions or are pregnant.\n– As much as we love our four-legged friends\, we can not allow dogs on this experience. \nLocation & Arrival: \nPlease arrive 10 minutes before we begin.
