What's on 

The Bookshop Band

Friday 2 May 2025
Doors 7:30pm for 8pm start
“Not just good, but achingly good.” THE NEW YORK TIMES
Formed via a collaboration with their local bookshop, Ivor Novello nominated composers Beth Porter and
Ben Please would write songs inspired by the books of the visiting authors, to be performed in front of them, above the shop.

Their latest album, Emerge, Return was recorded and
produced by none other than rock legend Pete Townshend (The Who).
​
No prior knowledge of the books required as the band guide you through the books that have inspired them. A
magical evening of music awaits, and hopefully you’ll take away some great new book recommendations as well.

ARCH - Rural gigs for the inquisitive PRESENT - Double Pelican​

Sat 8th March 2024
Doors 7:30pm for 8pm start
Our love affair with ARCH continues—welcome back to Postlip - this time with tunes from Double Pelican.

​Double Pelican are a Bristol-based freeform musical group / an avant folk trio. Hypnotic and Krautrock like drums form the foundations upon which guitars and such carve the decorative walls of this sometimes hallucinatory castle.

​​Songs from the Porch

Sat 30th November 2024
Doors 7:30pm for 8pm start

​After 2023's sell-out show at Postllip, Songs from the Porch return for an evening of alternative acoustic pop 'n' roll of the highest disorder. Much melodic gorgeousness to be had and behold. 

​Songs from the Porch bring together fiddle, double bass, accordion and lush singering and cook up a stripped-back alt-country soup base, which they ladle deliciously over the unpromising noodles of modern pop and underground classics; everything from Alicia Keys to Frank Ocean.

The Thief's Tale - Daniel Morden

Sat 7th December 2024
Doors 7:30pm for 8pm start

Daniel Morden is well known to Postlip audiences after his many visits storytelling with THE DEVIL'S VIOLIN. He has toured the world, from Sydney to Swansea, performing on Broadway, at the National Theatre, the RSC and the Albert Hall. In 2017 he was awarded the Hay Festival Medal in recognition of his achievements as a storyteller. 

'To experience Daniel Morden in full flight is an amazing thing. He combines the skills of the troubadour, the actor, the bard, the standup comedian and the preacher in the pulpit. One of the UK’s greatest storytellers’ IAN MACMILLAN, RADIO 3

​The thief Conall Crovi was once a hero of the people, but he has left behind his thieving ways for a life of domestic obscurity...until three ne'er do wells come to his door. He reluctantly agrees to One Last Job, with predictably disastrous results! 

​Events at Postlip

We run events in the Great Hall and Tithe Barn to share Postlip and make connections with the local community, as well as to help pay for the maintenance of our historic buildings. Many people enjoy our concerts, comedy, story-telling, music and drama.

​If you'd like to be on the mailing list or want to suggest an event then please email us or write to Postlip Society, Postlip Hall, Winchcombe, Cheltenham, GL54 5AQ.
​In the past we have hosted Cromwellian banquets, held a butterfly festival, exhibited tribal rugs, held a 2CV race, and filled the grounds with sculpture – Postlip is pretty versatile. We are always open to new ideas and opportunities which appeal to us and/or have the promise of raising money to help maintain and restore the house and Tithe Barn. The woods and grounds are regularly used, both recreationally and educationally, by local school parties and organisations such as the Scouts and Forest School.
​
​For the last few years we have been programming events to take place by the fireside in the Great Hall during the colder months.  A few recent events include: Ed Donovan, ALAW, The Devil's Violin Company performing their blend of live music and spoken word to bring to life their new show "Forbidden Door"; a very moving play titled State of Grace by Postlip's own Reckless Theatre Company, a fantastic performance by renowned Orkney folk duo The Wrigley Sisters; and the Garlic Theatre's delightful puppet show for children of all ages "There's a Monster in My Piano". ​
