The Lantern Players are-
Banjamin Folke Thomas

Their back to basics jaunt around the southern counties embraces a more rustic approach, advertising via the local post offices, pubs and village notice boards.
‘The village hall, pub, post office and shop are the cornerstones of the community, in fact that’s all there is in our village. Our country is blessed with a plethora of beautiful and too often underused village halls, designed and purpose built for close knit communities to gather in and perform to one another.’
Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou, keen to involve the local communities, have invited a selection of local acts from in and around each village to join the bill and pit their wits against the Big Smoke’s best.
The Lantern Society Radio Hour will be producing and broadcasting a very special ‘Can’t Wait For The Spring Tour’ edition, capturing live the essence of the journey and continuing the modern field recording odyssey that is The Lantern Society Radio Hour.
Plans are being made for a northern counties leg of the tour later in the year, followed by Scottish, Welsh and Irish legs.The album ‘Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou’ is released on 15th February 2010 on Loose Music.

Stallholders Book your space now
The Food Festival will be co-ordinated by the manager of The Acorn Inn, Jack Mackenzie and I will pass on your details to him. There is accommodation both in & outside of the Hall and electricity can be provided to a limited number of applicants. Approximately 16 places are available inside and approx.20/25 outside. Three have already been taken and several in the pipeline, so don't be too 'shy' in coming forward!
Other stall holders are welcome to apply, but I'm afraid all the plant stall places are taken, but we can offer plenty of opportunities for other interests.
The Acorn Inn will be hosting a live band and a hog-roast alongside all-day pub opening, to be followed in the evening by another live band and further hog-roasting.
