Nailsea Tithe Barn dates from 1480 and, with Holy Trinity Church, is part of Nailsea’s historic heart. A school for over 200 years, it is now fully restored to its medieval origins. The vaulted ceiling, stonework and owl & putlog holes are some of the beautiful features. It's accessible and has modern facilities and is available for public hire.

Nailsea Tithe Barn Trust is a registered charity
(no. 1154686) and works with the Council to promote the heritage and use of the Barn by the community.
The Trust runs a number of projects and events at the Barn, including Friends of the Tithe Barn, educational and school visits, Memories at the Barn for local people with dementia and their carers, concerts and community events, including annual Christmas Fayre.
We are always looking for volunteers and new trustees. It is very rewarding to be part of the team, promoting our beautiful building, running community events and providing support to local people. Do think of getting involved!!

With over 500 years of history the Tithe Barn has many a tale to tell.
We move on from the heat of this year's summer to come together once more, as Friends of the Tithe Barn meet at the Barn for their first monthly get-together on Tuesday 8th September. We are starting our new 'term' by taking on a challenging theme - AI! We will be welcoming Sue Turner, a Nailsea resident with a wide knowledge and involvement in Artificial Intelligence. We hope to learn about its benefits and be reassured that it isn't going to bring about the 'end of the world' as we know it!
In following months we will have speakers from Avon and Somerset Police and from the Wildlife Trust. Friends meet at the Barn on the first Tuesday of the month (except for September this year!)
Our social event will once again celebrate the Tithe Barn's origins and this year our 'Harvest Supper' will dip into 'Cider with Rosie', with excerpts produced and presented by John de Barham and members of Nailsea's Little Theatre. See below for more details.

To celebrate the Barn's history, Friends of the Tithe Barn invite you to this special Harvest Event.
