Samhain - when modern and ancient worlds cross over, old gods and spirits can walk the earth, and dreams can become a reality. As the fruitful year begins to die and fallen leaves blanket the earth, it is also a time those things already dead to wake once more, and speak with the living.

Join award-winning performance storyteller, Jason Buck, for a one-man Halloween show fit for the spooky season, in the delightful and intimate setting of our Great Roundhouse by a glowing hearth.

“Jason Buck storyteller has the whole family enthralled from beginning to end with his magical mix of voices and faces and skill of telling what ever tale he is presenting.” Samantha, Hampshire

There will be a bar selling locally produced cider, mead and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Hot drinks and snacks will also be available to be purchased from our shop.
