dark Christmas @ temperance | "Winter folklore, songs and stories"

Storyteller Jason Buck presents. An evening of dark Christmas tales and songs performed by The Patterers (maybe the odd execution ballad)

It's halfway through the dark, and the season of Yule is approaching. While Christmas trees twinkle to jolly carols, there are also those songs and stories that remind us of the shadowy history of this time of year, and of the things that go bump in night of the Nativity.
Join folk trio The Patterers and award-winning storyteller Jason Buck for an evening of Dark Christmas music and tales, in the gloomy comfort of the cellar room of Leamington's premier arts venue and cafe, Temperance.
Ages: Adults and families (12+)
