Susan Stokes-Chapman talks to Kate Bliss

The Twelve Days of Christmas

 – Hay Castle – The Gallery

Get into the Christmas spirit with this beautiful collection of seasonal stories inspired by the well-known carol. Bestselling author Susan Stokes-Chapman talks to antiques expert and presenter Kate Bliss about how she’s reimagined each of the gifts of the twelve days of Christmas, weaving them skilfully into a series of festive tales depicting life and love in the early 19th century.

We meet three sisters vying for the hand of a dastardly duke, two servants hiding a dangerous secret, and a soldier making his way home from war. Everything culminates at the village’s annual Twelfth Night Ball... The perfect way to spend a cosy Saturday afternoon at the Winter Weekend.

Price: £16.00
