The vaulted ceiling, stonework and owl & putlog holes are some of the beautiful features. It's accessible and has modern facilities and is available for public hire.

With over 500 years of history the Tithe Barn has many a tale to tell.
After the summer break, 'Coffee with Friends' started up once again at the beginning of September. Not being ones to take it easy, our first meeting of the new season took on the very topical subject of Artificial Intelligence!
Local resident Sue Turner, who is incredibly knowledgeable and has a wide experience of AI in all manner of applications, gave us a most interesting and thought-provoking introduction to the subject - from which there is no escaping!
The guest speaker for our October meeting was Nick Gough, from Avon and Somerset Police. Together with his colleague, he covered a very wide expanse of potential criminal activity that is 'out there' to trap us and attack us. I am sure we all came away much wiser and hopefully more cautious.
For our November meeting we enter calmer and more peaceful territory! Our speaker, from Avon Wildlife Trust, will keep us up to date with developments in the natural world and also, inevitably, the challenges faced even there.

Saturday 3rd October was a special night at the Tithe Barn! In recognition of its history, Friends of the Tithe Barn celebrated with a Harvest Supper. Wonderfully presented by Chris and Nicola and their team, we enjoyed a splendid meal with Joe providing a wonderfully stocked bar.
Following the meal, entertainment was provided by members of Nailsea Little Theatre, produced and organised by John de Barham (one of our Friends!). A splendid 're-telling' of Cider with Rosie by this talented group, together with some light-hearted but excellent singing provided by 'Five Groats and a Ferret', rounded off a briliant evening. Thank you to everyone who helped to put it together and all those who came along to enjoy it - a full house!

Nailsea Folk Club are back at the Tithe Barn for the start of their autumn season. Lots of great music for everyone. To find out just what's on at the Barn go to their website.
