Ayres and Graces return to the 1620s Barn to sing songs, share poems and describe some of the customs associated with Advent and Christmas in the Tudor and Jacobean times, around the time the House was refurbished in 1620.
They perform dressed in authentic costume and Nick plays copies of period instruments. A few more modern carols may creep into the programme but set with accompaniment on the lute by Lutenist and composer Brian Wright from Cornwall.
We look forward to transporting you back 400 years!
This performance will take place in the barn. Refreshments will be available to purchase from 6.30 pm.
Tickets are £8 and available online HERE or by calling 01455 290429 between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm
We try to make every event as accessible and inclusive as possible. If you would like to discuss the accessibility of this event, please contact us on 01455290429 or email us at 1620shouse@leics.gov.uk
