Festive Fun at the Tithebarn Workshops

festive fun at the tithebarn workshops


It’s that time of year again and the Tithebarn Workshops team are joining in the Town fun for the Christmas Light Switch on the evening of Friday 29th November.

Our studios will be open right through the day and into the evening, until 8pm (or maybe a little earlier if the free mulled wine and cider runs out!). As well as the resident artists and creative people we have at the Workshops, there will be pop-up sections within each studio for local creative people to take part and sell their goodies to the public. A great opportunity for some Christmas Shopping.

We have two live music acts performing:
Sounding it Out – 5.30pm to 6pm (a local community choir)
Dr Zebo’s Wheezy Club – 6pm to 6.45pm (an acoustic trio putting a new spin on the folk tradition)

There will also be food and snacks available from Vixy’s Cafe and Jikoni East African food.

Some of the studios will also be offering free mulled wine / cider and mince pies! So make sure you get here nice and early!

As we get more information we’ll post it on here.

Lighting up the Workshops

Well, that was a great night!

Friday evening saw the Bradford on Avon Christmas Light Switch On makes its way along the River, to the Tithebarn Workshops

Everything was set up ready for a busy evening as people made their way from the centre of town along the beautifully lit River Walk, once the switch on had happened in Westbury Gardens.

We would like to say a huge thank you to the Town Council for including the Workshops in this years revelry and also to the local businesses who sponsored the fabulous live music, especially to BLB Solicitors for their support. This music couldn’t have happened without the wonderful Andy and his amazing wife Madeleine, who do so much to help and promote the local music scene.

There was mulled wine, mince pies and Vixy’s Cafe was open for hot drinks and cakes on what turned out to be a very cold (but dry!) evening. How the musicians managed to play and sing in the 1° temperature was admirable (with one, although not all, in a spangly dress!!)

The studios at the Tithebarn Workshops are packed with fabulous gift ideas, so why not pop down for a spot of Christmas shopping in a lovely setting?
