The Paper Trains

Sadly tomorrow's Autumn Festival at Down To Earth Farm has just been cancelled due to the recent weather warnings. Our apologies to all.

Hell yeah! ...and with that darn tootin' tonsillitis now firmly at bay, we're lookin' forward to playin' our pea-pickin' hearts out THIS SAT (21st Oct) at the @oasisdowntoearthfarm 'Autumn Open-Day Festival', in Lordshill, Southampton. Open to the public: 10am-3pm. Yes siree, we'll be giving it some, come rain or shine, from 11am onwards. Plus, we're real excited to be strummin' alongside our old chums, the brilliant Wood, Wire and Words. Should be a fab old day of live music, scrummy food, kids activities, an abundance of gorgeous animals, craft stuff, pumpkin/scarecrow shenanigans, face painting n' the likes. Adults £3, Children £1, Under 2s free.
