“WALK (AND TALK) UP AN APPETITE – AND LEARN A BIT OF LOCAL HISTORY AT THE SAME TIME!
Local Historian David Carson is starting local history walks of Alton Barnes and Priors – the first one is on Wednesday the 2nd of November, and then every Wednesday throughout November. This is something that David has done before, both for Devizes Festival and for local history societies, under the banner of ‘A Tale of Two Villages’. You will learn a host of fascinating facts covering the two Ancient churches, what the villages used to look like, the Civil War, and the machinery riots. Full booking details can be found on the Barge Inn website, but here are some of the details. Booking is made by phoning The Barge (01672 851705) . The walks start from St Mary’s Church in Alton Barnes (car parking is available at the church, and also at the Barge Inn) at 11am, and finish at about 12.30 at The Barge Inn. The cost of the ‘walk and talk’ is a modest £10 for adults, and £7.50 for the under 16′s (not really suitable for youngsters under 11) to be paid in cash on arrival at the church – lunch is an ‘extra’ and you should book a table at The Barge when booking your place on the tour. Numbers are restricted to 15 people on each walk, and may be subject to cancelation due to weather conditions.”.

Over 60’s Lunches every Wednesday – starting in September (booking is not necessary).

Early Evening Childrens Meals
this is a new idea that is likely to be piloted Children’s Meals in October – more details will be available from the pub in due course.

IT’S PURE MAGIC!
On 10th of November there is a very special event – a three course meal, during which our very own resident magician, Mark Peace (a Pro Magician and member of the Magic Circle) who will pass among the diners and amaze them with impossible feats of magic and sleight of hand.
