Yule – 18th December
To celebrate Yule, we are very exited to announce that the Temple Puppeteers will be doing another of their magical puppet shows. Enter the magical world of Yule, where we will journey on another exciting adventure with Edene, meet the winter Cailleach and find out if dragons are real!
This performance is suitable for adults and children. Please make sure you book a place for each child unless they are small enough to sit on your knee. The performances will be inside the goddess temple so booking is required for this event.
Showings begin promptly at 12.00pm and 3pm.
Winter solstice songs and traditional Yuletide songs will be shared in the garden from 1pm-2.30pm.
You may wish to join in or share a poem that represents the changing of the season and celebrates the return of the sun.
Anwen will be serving her delicious homemade soup and will be made to order so must be booked in advance as part of the ticket if you choose this option.
Mince pies and mulled wine will be served additionally but on a first come first serve basis.
