A day of FREE activities for all ages, with performances, crafts & workshops, including a hot lunch.
Pop-Up Winter Cafe
We spent our winter cooking, playing and meeting people at the Key Centre on the Mount in Frome. Over the course of 9 weeks, we served more than 2,500 free hot lunches, hosted workshops, ran after-school discos, created installations, redecorated the community centre inside and out, delivered scores of handwritten notes around the neighbourhood with our own postal service, and supported local people to forge friendships and collaborations. The Key Centre is now running regular cafe hours - pop in or check their website to find out more.

Voices of Frome
Over the course of 2025, composer Verity Standen interviewed Frome residents with very different life experiences and perspectives on the town. The conversations were wide-ranging: from daily life to past adventures and ideas for the future.
Verity then created an original piece of vocal music inspired by each person’s stories, which were performed live in November and then recorded with the help from wonderful singers Kate Huggett, Rosalie Warner and Rose Stachniewska - so you can listen now!
