Live performance of sparkling new stories in ravishing countryside near Bath. Dawn and Ed's farm is in one of the most glorious spots in the Cotswolds. Grab the opportunity to enjoy it  - and some fabulous stories too!

This promises to be a very special evening - grab your tickets while you can! 

We've been to the farm before. Here is what our audience thought about our last event:

'Wonderful location, audience and storytellers'   'Hugely enjoyable evening!'

'Each of those stories was so memorable for different reasons that I couldn't stop thinking about them for days.'   'What a perfect setting and even the weather was in favour of an outdoor event!'

'It was great fun to finish on a huge high with belly laughs echoing across the valley. I haven't laughed so much for ages.'  'I can't wait for the next event at the farm!'

Parking:

There will be free parking at the farm. Please be aware that it is in a field, and your car could get muddy.

What to bring:

A picnic, a camping chair, a blanket, a torch!! (all optional...)

Seating:

There will be hay bales and picnic blankets to sit on. If you would be more comfortable sitting in a camping chair you are welcome to bring one. 

Facilities:

There will be loos on site.

Food and drink:

There will be no drink or food available for sale at the farm, so please do bring your own. Picnics very welcome! 

Weather: 

We will be sitting outside in the open air. Even if the weather is warm, evenings can get chilly - do wrap up warm. You might want to bring a blanket! 

Please make sure your shoes are suitable for walking in a farm field - uneven, and  possibly muddy. If it looks like there's a bit of drizzle you might want to bring a brolly.

In the case of rain we will decamp to the stables, and we'll listen to stories alongside the horses. We've had to do this once before, and the horses enjoyed it as much as the human audience. 

Directions:

Coming from Bath

Leave Bath, taking the A46 up towards the M4. Drive up the hill, and then the road twists and turns. After about 3 1/2 miles, you pass the South Gloucestershire county sign. Almost immediately there’s a turning on the right, signposted ‘St Catherine’s, single track road’, with a large sign to The Rambles. Turn right and the first house on the left is Henly Tyning Farm.  Once you get to the farm there will be a sign for the car park.

 

Coming from the M4

Take exit 18 to Bath. You reach a roundabout where the A46 crosses the A420. Go straight over. You pass two turnings on the left (to Cold Ashton). You come into the hamlet of Nimlet. As you pass through Nimlet, take the next turning on the left (third since roundabout) - it is signed 'St Catherine’s, single track road', but there is a large tree obscuring the sign! If you get to the Bath and North East Somerset county sign, you’ve just missed the turning. Drive down the St Catherine’s road and Henly Tyning Farm is the first house on the left. Once you get to the farm there will be a sign for the car park.
