Meet the angels! Well, our version anyway! Come along with them to experience the old Christmas story told through a light-hearted drama suitable for all ages. 
Our beautiful main barn makes a very atmospheric setting for a quirky re-telling of the story by members of St Michael’s Church, and the drama is interspersed with lots of well-known traditional carols for everyone to sing along. 
A lovely community event and a great start to the festive season. 

To get you in the festive spirit your ticket includes a cup of mulled wine and a mince pie to enjoy before the carols start (non-alcoholic, gluten-free, and children's alternatives available). The doors open for this 45 minutes before the event starts. 

Seating is unreserved.

 It will be pretty chilly in The Barn so wrap up warm in your finest festive knits!

There will be 3 editions of Carols in The Barn, please select your time at the point of booking.
Saturday 7th December, 3pm (doors open from 2.15pm) 
Sunday 8th December, 3pm (doors open from 2.15pm)
