WHAT’S ON IN APRIL
Special Events
Spring walk from The Packhorse, South Stoke, to The Hop Pole Inn, Limpley Stoke, on Saturday 5th April
We will meet at the Packhorse at 10.30am, maps will be provided (paper and digitally). You are welcome to stay and have a coffee first, use our toilets etc and then head off.
We anticipate that the walk length will be 1.5 to 2 hours each way, but obviously people will walk at different speeds! Stay at The Hop Pole for a couple of drinks and either walk back or call a taxi!
Please email us if you would like to join in the walk so we can expect you.
Easter Live Music
We are really excited to welcome back the hugely talented Matt Owens on Easter Sunday. He will be playing from 3pm to 5pm. A founding member of Noah and the Whale, Matt spent the first decade of his music career touring the world and selling a million albums in the UK with the folk indie band. Four solo albums in and now lead guitarist in Our Man in the Field, (with whom he’s just returned from Austin’s SXSW and set to play The Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival this summer,) he adores the pubs of Bath and can’t wait to be back at one of his favourites, The Packhorse
On Easter Monday we will be welcoming along Packhorse favourite the lovely Jess Chivers (3pm to 5pm). Jess recently launched her first EP and will be looking forward to playing a few of those songs along with her usual covers.
