30th November - Nazareth to Bethlehem - A culinary journey

Eating out...with a difference

The journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem is approx 100km across high ground, crisscrossing the West Bank border between Israel & Palestine.

This is an evening of Levantine cuisine. Many of the dishes go back to biblical times and beyond - we will be using the ancient cooking methods of charcoal and wood fire baking. 

It is also an evening to join together at the Dutch Barn on the eve of Advent Sunday and send our compassion & blessings to those caught up in the conflict in this area. A percentage of your ticket price will go towards much needed funds for the humanitarian work of UNICEF, supporting children in need in Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.

With live, enchanting music from Andrew Hurst and authentic cuisine & narrative from Chef Peter Vaughan & his team, we will take you on a multi-sensory journey that Mary
& Joseph once took, and millions of others since, although not possible at the moment.  

Venue: Dutch Barn, Owl Lodge, Forest lane, Lacock SN15 2PN
