The Horns of Yule - A Winter Tale

  • Butser Ancient Farm Chalton Ln Hampshire, PO8 0BG United Kingdom (map)

Enter a world of ancient spirits and winter folklore by the glowing hearth this Yuletide…

Single ticket £20.50

Adults and older children (11+)

Yuletide – Christmas time - is a traditional time for all ages to get together and listen to stories - particularly ghost stories. Join award-winning performer Jason Buck for an immersive one-man show, fit for the time of year, and presented in the atmospheric surroundings around the central fire of Butser's Iron Age Roundhouse.

When a young boy is sent to stay at his granny’s cottage, his exploration of the local woods uncovers things that are best left sleeping through the winter months.

Traditional folklore and myth combine to bring alive the ancient spirits of Yule, for modern audiences.

“I’d not heard many storytellers before hearing Jason, but I can honestly say he is without a doubt one of the best”. Ken, Bath

“My friends and I saw Jason in Leamington last night and I was absolutely blown away. It was my first time at one of his events, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I can't wait for the Christmas themed event in December. I can't recommend these events enough”. Erika, Warwick

“We had an incredible evening, completely spellbound by Jason's telling of Slàine The Horned God. This is what a charisma of 18 looks like!” Stephen, Coventry

There will be a bar selling locally produced cider, mead and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Hot drinks and snacks will also be available for purchase from our shop.
