This month on When in Frome, Daisy, Sonia and Becky are back with another mix of local stories, summer adventures and a little slice of history.

We speak to local legend Dr Helen Kingston about how tackling loneliness in Frome led to a groundbreaking drop in emergency hospital admissions. Sonia soaks up a perfect summer's evening with the Frome Town Band, while Daisy delves underground to explore the mysterious history of Frome's hidden tunnel network.

Challenge Sonia is back - and this time she's on two wheels, hopping on an e-bike from the Frome Community Bike Project, cycling from Frome to Mells and back powered by determination (and the promise of cake). We also meet Tilda Lowsley-Williams, a massage therapist bringing Ayurvedic healing to her new life in Frome..

And of course, Becky from Fabulous Frome has your What's On guide to August - from festivals to family fun, there's something for everyone.

We embark on a mission to find Frome's oldest pub. Sonia breaks a sweat (and maybe a smile) trying out the Wildcat Sauna at the Rye Bakery. Daisy sits down with Local Legend Ginny (aka Cheryl) from dance class Mojo Moves. Plus we've got updates on plans for a new skate park, a bit of Morris dancing, a chorus of birdsong and Becky's unmissable Fabulous Frome forecast. It's quirky, light-hearted and unmistakably Frome.
