Rook Lane Chapel Rook Lane is a space for the cross-pollination of art, architecture and education. Stunning Wedding

Rook Lane is a unique arts centre housed in a restored 18th century chapel. The chapel is home to NVB Architects as well as beautiful venue for hire, perfomance, exhibitions and weddings. Rook Lane works with a number of creative partners across art, music, education and design to deliver a diverse and dynamic year-long programme of events. History....

The original chapel was built in 1707 and served the community of Frome until 1968 but then followed 25 years of dereliction. Through the 90s, the space was used by artists for informal workshops, performances and exhibitions but it wasn't until 2001 that NVB Architects moved in to renovate the chapel and build a contemporary annex at the rear. From 2003 - 2013, the arts progrmme at the Chapel was managed by Rook Lane Arts Trust whose remit is to use the chapel as a space to promote the arts and education in Frome. The Trust handed the running of the chapel over to NVB Architects in July 2013, but retain an active role in programming and fundraising for education projects based on site.

“Fire in The Belly” the songs of Woody Guthrie
Woody Guthrie was the unwitting voice of the depression and dustbowl years, famously saying: “All you can write is what you see”, and a champion for the hard-hit folks who didn’t have a voice. He became an inspiration for many singers such as Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Billy Bragg and Bruce Springsteen.
In this show, actor and musician Dave Plimmer tells the story of the music and the man, mixing biographical monologue in the voice of Guthrie with his songs, celebrating his art and fire-plagued story. Book your tickets for this immersive biographical show here:

Rivers of England
Genre-blending ensemble Rivers of England will take the stage for a special filmed recording session for their new album ‘…OR kestrel. Known for fusing acoustic folk roots with jazz, blues, and rock, the band will perform a mix of classic tracks and brand-new material.

The evening features stunning orchestral arrangements by Danyal Dhondy, who will also conduct the ensemble. Joining them on keyboards is the award-nominated film and television composer, Daan Temmink.

Audiences will get a firsthand look at the band’s latest creative chapter, including a performance of their new title track, ‘…OR kestrel.’ Written by lead singer Rob Spalding, the song sets the tone for the album – mapping a deeply personal struggle between digital addiction and human presence. It serves as a sonic wake-up call, guiding listeners from the paralysis of screen fatigue back to the freedom of the natural world.

Tickets Adults £18, Child £5, Student/retired/unemployed £9 plus booking fee
