Devil's Nutting Day Celebration
2024-09-21 15:00 - 21:00 | Voltaires Wood, Minchinhampton, Stroud, GL6 9AL, United Kingdom
Do you dare to go down to the woods today? Join us for an autumn celebration at Oak & Ash & Thorn, held in Voltaire’s Wood with the opportunity of continuing the fun with camping overnight.

21 September is the Devil’s Nutting Day. One of three Nutting Days in September, it was once commonly held that to gather nuts today would attract the attention of Old Nick himself. Dare to take part in a forage through the woods led by our expert forager. It may be a beech mast year. This will be followed by the chance to learn how to deer stalk (no guns, just tracking) and a whittling masterclass round the campfire as we settle in for some storytelling under the stars.
This is the perfect experience for those after some friend or family bonding time, those seeking a slower pace, and those wanting to get closer to nature.

Just run if you catch a whiff of sulphur…

Sanctuary sessions - Louis Giannamore + CYGNET
2024-09-27 18:30 - 22:30 | The Long Table, Brimscombe Mill, Stroud, GL5 2SA, United Kingdom
Louis Giannamore will be playing live in the second of our Sanctuary Sessions, supported by local act Cygnet.
Louis is musically diverse and unsurprisingly, his percussive talents are apparent, having toured and drummed for the likes of Arlo Parks, Gang Of Youths and Loathe, all varying and contrasting. Yet his recent works explore the heavy use of samples, dark brooding synths and lush and grandiose ambience, making his musical performances emotional and impactful, like witnessing a violent thunderstorm.

Based in Stroud Gloucestershire and one half of the duo 13aX, CYGNET makes use of an eclectic array of tools: DMX drum machine, bass, guitar, foot pedals, percussion, sampled loops, voice and other bits to make flawed but honest music.
6pm – Doors, Kitchen & Bar open – pay-as-you-can dinner available 6-8pm.
7pm – Live gig in The Sanctuary
