Back by popular demand… Santa returns to the Tithebarn Workshops this Sunday…
Come on down and enjoy some more festive fun with us and say hello to Santa.
There will also be an opportunity to experience a drop-in cast glass workshop in Jade’s studio (Jane Pinnell Cast Glass, Unit 5).
Merry Christmas!
Our Workshops freshening up project progressed another step this week, as the entrance sign was replaced and updated by Felix…
With the individually painted studios and lovely new signage, it’s a lot more welcoming for visitors. More improvements and updates will follow in the months to come and we will keep you informed.
We wanted to also take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to the lovely locals of Bradford on Avon for their amazing support (both emotional and financial) during and after the floods last week. You’re amazing and we truly appreciate your continued custom.
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.
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?
We are all busy here at the Tithebarn Workshops getting ready for the Bradford on Avon Christmas Light Switch On on Friday 24th November 2023…
This year will also see the return of the much loved bikes in the gardens at the Workshops. It has been a few years since they made an appearance, but 2023 is the year they come back!…
And talking of lights… for the first time, this Christmas, Bradford Town Council are lighting up the River Walk along the Avon, towards the Tithebarn Workshops.
It should certainly make the stroll from town rather pleasant.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you all for an evening of music, munching, mulling and some Christmas shopping!
We now have a bit more information about the upcoming Autumn Fair at the Tithebarn Workshops…
The event will take place between 10am and 4pm on Saturday 28th October. There will be demonstrations from the resident artists and creators from the Workshops, as well as a collection of stalls featuring local makers, in the garden. We will also be running children’s activities and there will be local musicians giving a sound track to the day with live music.
The new owner of the Workshops Cafe will be open, offering a selection of cakes, teas, coffees and refreshments, with tables in the garden for you to enjoy the festivities.
And… dare we say it… a great chance to get some early Christmas shopping in!
We hope that this inaugural event will be a great success and we look forward to welcoming you all down here.
SerenArts Gallery will be closed from 3pm on 24th December and will reopen again on Tuesday 3rd January 2023.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
