    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.

    It's been one whole year since we launched When in Frome - and this month, we're officially March-ing On.

    We explore the growing conversation around smartphone-free childhoods and what it might mean for families locally. Sonia steps onto the mat to try Brazilian jiu-jitsu for this month's Challenge Sonia. Our Local Legend, Rose Hiron-Grimes, shares why she's training for a marathon in support of We Hear You. We hear from Alison Murdoch about the return of the Kindness Festival, and Becky heads down to the Valentine's Lamp ceremony before bringing us her what's on guide to March.

    Big conversations, brave challenges and plenty of kindness - with a little bit of sunshine thrown in.

    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.
