In November 2020 we began our journey to answer absolutely none of life’s big questions. Such questions as why we are here, what’s the meaning of life, why didn’t they just fly the eagles to Mordor and why did Dominos stop making the double decadence pizza base?!
Our aim was simple, to offer a place of worship to our deity the Mezcal Bunny. A place where you can drink mezcal without having to order a carvery dinner alongside it, a place where you aren’t kicked out into the cold heartless night at 10pm, a place where you can get away from the busy gyms, supermarkets, shops, beauty salons, massage parlours, cinemas, theatres, sports venues, xmas markets, schools, universities, betting shops and literally everywhere else that was allowed to remain open while pubs and bars had to remain shut.
Our application to be recognised as an official place of worship and open our doors was submitted to the registrar general. Our congregation of ‘Bunny Believers‘ and ‘Reverends of the Righteous Rabbits‘ began to grow!
Amezcal!

The Church of the 400 Rabbits was forged in the fire of the 2nd lockdown in the UK when scotch eggs were believed to stop the coronavirus in its tracks and living in the county of Rutland was considered a superpower!
In lockdown 7,462 in February 2021 the Church had amassed a congregation of over 2000 loyal followers and the UK government, after rigorous testing at a cost of 63 billion that was paid to Michael Gove’s gran, discovered scotch eggs were, in fact just a delicious snack.
In February the Church was still awaiting its confirmation as an official Place of Worship and until that day (we weren’t holding our breath!) sadly remained closed but members were still welcomed to join us in our quest.
On 12th April The Church of 400 Rabbits finally threw open its doors! It was a long time coming but we made it with various rules still in place of course such as serving outside only, so tables were obviously extremely limited.
Mezcal Bunny worship was still encouraged but not essential.
You could still grab yourself a church tee or hoodie by heading to the Casa Agave site while stocks last!

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here to tell you
There’s something else
The after world
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night
So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything’ll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
‘Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life
You’re on your own
And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy, punch a higher floor
If you don’t like the world you’re living in
Take a look around you
At least you got friends
You see I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Ah, ah) is all I heard
Are we gonna let the elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no let’s go!
Let’s go crazy
Let’s get nuts
Let’s look for the purple banana
‘Til they put us in the truck, let’s go!
Prince 19:84
