Brethren,

We would be pleased to welcome you to our festival celebrating all that is excellent about Wales.

After ritual in our temple, our Festive Board starts with the St David’s Day Ceremony of the Leek, well known to the Royal Regiment of Wales and previously the Royal Welch Fusiliers.

After a sumptuous dinner of Welsh Lamb (alternatives available) for a remarkable sum of approx. £25.00 including cheese board and wine, we embark on the re-enactment of the famous battle named after the famous film ‘Zulu’, or is it the other way around? There will be letters from home, lots of frivolity, singing and finally the battle itself, complete with Zulu Warriors and South Wales Borderers/Warwickshire Regiments. We have projectiles to fire and very understanding cleaners.

After the battle we welcome visitors in our inimitable way, in song of course!
