To Yollow Autumn Turn'd

Updated: Mar 26

Local folk singers, musicians and actors Tim Laycock and Alastair Braidwood are returning to the majestic Great Hall at Athelhampton. To Yollow Autumn Turn'd promises to be an evening of words and music from Dorset and beyond about the countryside, Autumn, apples, and - most importantly - cider!
