Truth Told Theatre Presents Shakespeare's legendary tragedy, Macbeth, at Cogges Manor Farm – Friday 28 & Saturday 29 March, plus a matinee performance on the 29th.

Step into the gripping world of ambition, betrayal and the supernatural! Set in medieval Scotland, the play charts the rise and fall of Macbeth and explores the darkest corners of the human psyche.

After the success of Romeo & Juliet last summer, Truth Told Theatre returns to Cogges with this compelling tragedy, set in the historical and atmospheric surroundings of the Grade II listed Wheat Barn.

Wrap up warm and book now for Tuesday 14th January pop-up session at Cogges with The Hedgehog Club, for children up to 4 years old!

Next Tuesday 14th January we will be having a pop up session of The Hedgehog Club at Cogges. This is open to children up to 4 years old, it is not for children who are school aged.

Each week has a theme with a related story and craft activity. Every week you will find the mud kitchen, bug hunting, swings and hammocks and there are always homemade biscuits and hot drinks. And, of course, it wouldn't be Hedgehog Club without something yummy cooking on the fire.

So dig out those layers and warm boots and come see the benefits that being out in nature in all weathers and at all times of the year bring to your mental health and wellbeing.

This will be the only session of Hedgehog Club for this term but Anna and Anvita will be starting again on 4th March, with hopefully some spring sunshine to help the fun along.
Book through the website www.thehedgehogclub.co.uk

Important notice: Dear friends. In recent nights Cogges Manor Farm has been the focus of a spate of antisocial behaviour incidents. On one night our chicken houses were opened, very sadly this resulted in the passing away of a few of our lovely Buff Sussex chickens, a rare breed. Additionally, one of our goats was let out of his enclosure which caused him significant distress. We plead with all parents, who may not know were their children are in the evenings, to relay that the death of our chickens is a terribly sad loss to us, our volunteers and young visitors. We are a small independent charity that receives no funding. If you live in the local area, Please be vigilant and if you see anything suspicious please do call the police or make us aware. Cogges has been at the heart of Witney for 1000 years, help us protect our animals and this heritage Gem from those that don’t respect its importance. Thank you.
Please contact us at: [email protected] or call 01993 772602.
