This month on When in Frome, we’re embracing the light…and what happens after dark.
Daisy heads to Packsaddle Fields, where frustration is growing after access to the green space was blocked. She speaks to campaigners and local councillors about what the future might hold. She also joins Frome and East Somerset MP Anna Sabine on a rural safety walk in Beckington, highlighting the issue of violence against women and girls after dark and what can be done to help people feel safer.
Sonia’s been set a very seasonal challenge, cooking wild garlic scones - with a little help from local author Eleanor Hayes. She also checks out The Moors, a dark comedy by Jen Silverman, exploring desire, desperation and life on the bleak English moors.
We’re at the opening of the Kindness Festival, meeting the team behind a powerful community quilt remembering loved ones, and Daisy explores the magic of Window Wonderland, as Frome quite literally glows in the dark.
Our Local Legend this month is Tori Allison, the force behind Window Wonderland and Chair of the Cheese and Grain. And as always, Becky rounds things off with her Fabulous Frome Forecast for April.
