Welcoming you to the Tithe Barn
Events for the new Season
As the nights draw in and there's a nip in air it's time to think of some indoor entertainment. The Tithe Barn has some gems over the next few months.
The Tithe Barn is, of course, the spiritual home of Nailsea Folk Club. Indeed, if it hadn't been for David Francis and the Folk Club community there might have no longer been a Tithe Barn at all. The Folk Club continue to bring joy to many and this season's programme is no exception. Go to What's On to find out all about future events. On Sunday 17th November Granny's Attic, Folk club much loved group, will make a welcome return to the Tithe Barn.
One of the highlight of Nailsea's Christmas celebrations is the Craft Fair, held at the Tithe Barn and Holy Trinity Church. This year the date to put in your diary is Saturday 30th November. Not to be missed. Go to What's On for more information.

This is a group of Tithe Barn enthusiasts! Many of them were active in rescuing the Barn from demolition, and others have joined since, as they come together for social 'get-togethers', entertainment and visits to places of interest. The Friends meet on the first Tuesday of each month at the Barn and welcome anyone who would enjoy a couple of hours of friendship, occasional visitors with tales to tell, and chances to get 'out and about' from time to time.

Friends visit to St Bartholomews Church, Failand

It was a very wet morning when a group of Friends visited St Bartholomew's Church in Lower Failand. However, they received a very warm welcome and learnt much about this beautiful Church, tucked away, literally off the beaten track. The group heard that it had been built at the end of the 19th Century, when it was expected that the road from Bristol to Clevedon would have been routed this way. That didn't happen, so the Church never became the actual centre of the growing community of Failand.
At the November meeting, Friends enjoyed a most interesting and stimulating presentation about the 're-wilding' projects centred around The Belmont Estate and Watercress Farm. They are now looking forward to a visit there in 2025.
