What's on
Flotsam and Jetsam
Flotsam is soft, flexible, laid back. She slides and glides through life on the ice. Jetsam is the
opposite, his insectile body in stiff and nervy, alert and watchful, suspicious of all in his forest home.
And then comes the weather... and they are both cast adrift in a world that is strange
to them and full of a range of dangers. Finally washed up on the same island beach
they must discover the other and work out how they can work together.
With a veritable feast of Popdogs and Hotcorn to fill those empty tummy's, we bring you... the brilliant... Flotsam&Jetsam
Grab your tickets in advance... So we know how many beanbags to lay out in front of the cosy fire.
Doors open at 5pm
A hopeful, adventure story about two very different creatures displaced from their
respective worlds by climate change. A story of our time, visual, accessible and with
delightful puppetry and original music. Suitable for everyone from 4 – 104.
“Liz and Daniel Lempen with their gentle play, terrific manipulation,
beautiful, fun-grotesque puppets and wonderful music by Chris Davies,
have created a most contemporary story that moves hearts.”

Events at PostlipWe 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".
