In our February episode we look at the latest developments at Saxonvale and the new community share scheme giving local people the chance to part-own the site. Sonia's latest challenge sees her pulling on her trainers for Plod for Pastries, where a winter 5k run ends with croissants and coffee.

We hear about volunteering opportunities with Spark Somerset, celebrate this month's Local Legend, the artist Violet von Riot, and catch up with the actor James Purefoy, following his visit to Lamyatt Village Hall.

Becky is out and about at a model railway exhibition and a Women in Business event before rounding things off with her What's On guide for February.

Plus, Daisy explores the story behind one of Frome's most loved landmarks.

From big plans at Saxonvale to the glow of the Valentine's Lamp, in this month's episode, Frome really is in the air.

We’re easing out of Christmas and into the New Year with a very Frome-flavoured January episode.

We go behind the scenes at Frome Symphony Orchestra’s magical performance of The Snowman, take baby Ren to meet Father Christmas, dance around town at Mrs Christmas’s Silent Disco, and catch up backstage at the Merlin Theatre for festive favourite, Crimes Against Christmas.

Sonia chats to local girl band Planet Janet about making a joyful comeback and Daisy interviews this month's local legend, litter-picking hero Tracey Eames. We also speak to several mumtrepreneurs about how they've been cashing in on Christmas to help pay the bills through the festive season, and hear from James at Edventure about a new course aimed at turning business ideas into reality.

We explore the need for donations to Fair Frome and the Community Fridge this winter, and as we all make our New Year's resolutions, Becky rounds things off with a gentle New Year, New You moment focusing on movement and motivation. She also delivers her Fabulous Frome guide to what's on in town this month.

This festive bumper show is a celebration of creativity, community and new beginnings. With a bit of new gear thrown in for good measure.

In this festive edition of When in Frome, Daisy, Sonia and Becky take you through a month packed with lights, laughter, local stories and winter treats. Daisy attempts the legendary Cobble Wobble, Frome gathers for a magical Lantern Parade and we get hands on at a pickling workshop before sampling some very merry flavours at the Still Sisters gin school. There's a sweet stop at the Frome Chocolate Fair, a heartfelt conversation with this month's Local Legend, Mark McGann, and a riotous night out at T'Barry Bingo. Becky meets the creators of a brand new football podcast before giving us her festive guide to everything happening in town this month. A celebration of Frome at its best, all wrapped up for December.
